There's a difference between being humble as an elder,
and completely deflecting away the honour given to you by others by simply saying that
you don't want to be one, and then that you would never be one anyway.
People don't often throw words like 'elder' around lightly (fluffies aside), and
deflecting their words and the honour given to you like a pretty 16 year old saying
'oh but I'm not pretty!' (when you secretly know you are)
is a bit of a worry if you ask me.
Throwing away the honour of what being an elder entails by going 'oh it's a drag, you get
nothing in return for it, and I'm not one anyway' (two out of three aint bad), is like saying
'being a doctor sucks, it's long hours, and people die, so saving people's lives totally
doesn't make up for it.'
Get your head read. And grow the fuck up.
