The Elders

The elders are the first kids in the family. They get use to attention of all the people in the house. They are children who are used to receive anything they want the very moment they expressed their desire. They don't realize that it is not the way life is, they take such state of things as common and the only possible state. We can't blame them for such belief as it is a mistake of parents.
They are parents who make their kids sure that everything in the world will be provided for them at once. They are also parents who assure a kid that there are no other people in the world they can care about except his daughter or son. So, kid percept is not as favor but as common way of life, like it has to be so and no other way. And that is the though that will result in a number of troubles later.
Though, in case if everything was done in the right way and parents managed to explain their kid everything they had to, things will be okay. Being elder means care about the youngers. So, people who are the elders in their families are people of particular characters. Say, there is a man who is the elder brother for his sister or brother. He is a man who gets used to be a support and protection.
He will be an attentive father and loving husband. He realized that those who are stronger have to care about those who are weaker, and that though will remain so. Those who are the elder sisters for their little brothers or sisters will grow up as good mothers. They also get used to care about their youngers and so they are sure that this is how things have to be.
