Why Is It A Disrespect To Use A Parable In The Midst Of Elders As A Young Person by CelestineNelson: 5:35pm On Sep 19, 2021 |
In Yoruba land, recently I discovered that, when a young man, is talking and decided to use a parable to convey or express his message, he will first of all apologies to the elders, before using it. However, I am not a Yoruba person but I use an adage sometimes to express my self. Hope I am not being insultive? And why is it considered an insult in the first place. I thought using figure of speech, adage, parables, and other related communication expression aids should be seen as a function and display of oratory intelligence. Besides JESUS use it, alot even infront of elders of the Jews and even Literature supports that. Elders in the Land, over to you Please! Moderators let this debate hit the front page please. |
