I've heard that too, from an elder (what a coincidence).

Its not wrong to give them advice, its only their own ego's that don't want to hear it.

Its like this. We teach our kids not to lie. but then someday we lie in front of them, and then kid notices it and says, "mommy u are lying, but u said never to lie". So mommy shouts "chup kar oye, vadiyaa age nahi bolida" but now mommy is in another trouble. Mommy ik din apne khud de mommy daddy nu answer back kar dindi hai, and this kid notices again, "But mommy you said vadiyan age nahi bolida" and now mommy is sharmsar. And she tries to change the subject.

Did I answer you, may be may be not.

But the way I see is that nobody is perfect. We jump to correct our yougesters but not act on many things ourselves. And we end up in this situation.

The answer would be develop some tolerating and listening skills. At the end of the day, the life is about developing ourselves better. We are not here to correct the world, but develop ourlselves. Here and there, if we could help others see things better, that's nice. But no need to be rude about it.

Guru fateh!

But we should try to correct others also we should not see bad & shut our mouth.Guru nanak dev ji taha sari jindagi dusaro nu sudharan vaste laga diti.

Bul chuk mafa!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
