as a young child I was always told . Respect your elders . I would question this and one day my uncle pulled me aside and said .
" It's not about respect , its about being civil . Its OK to disagree with them . Voice your opinion respectfully and if they give you greif about it leave it alone and follow your dreams . There a bunch of old fogies anyway ."
It was good advice back then and it still is today
"Children should only be heard when spoken to". Now there is one that always got my goat

Similar kind of values that i got raised into. Some i agree, some not.
The follow your dreams and be who you are part makes me always smile. That is true only when outcome of that agrees with values of one telling that.
Example overly positive people can’t handle that somebody wants to be cranky hermit and it should be okay too.
Why is the positive and lovey dovey aways the way to go.
thats not a reflection on life . and those who do the above have a great fall . dose of reality . have to find the balance that fits who you are
