Yes, but note: I have come across many older Qataris who are sensible like that. More courteous, more caring, etc.etc. Even on the road. They respect life and show good examples for the young.

Actually, similar with anywhere around the world - the older and more mature, they are, the clearer they see the bigger picture and the vanities of striving in life.

The youngsters should learn from their elders. That was excellent leadership by example.
