Wa alaikum assalam, Islam places great emphasis on the importance of showing respect and honor to the eldery particularly to fellow Muslims. The hadith you mentioned indicates that by honoring an eldery Muslim, Allah will appoint somone to honor us when we become old. This promise of honor and respect from Allah serves as an incentive to treat elderly Muslims with kindness and respect. It also fosters strong relationships within the Muslim community and promotes mutual care and support. This is essential for a thriving community. Showing kindness and respect to the elderly is an act of good character that can earn rewards from Allah. It is a way to fulfill our duty as Muslims to care for and respect one another. By respecting elders, we demonstrate good character and earn the pleasure of Allah.

 As-Salaam alaikum,
   The Noble Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:--

     "The one who honours an elderly Muslim,
      Allah will appoint someone that will honour
      him when he becomes old." (Sunan Tirmidhi)

  Thus whoever respects an elderly Muslim only because he is old (thinking) his worships are greater than mine and he was a Muslim before me, then he will witness in the world that the people will respect him when he grows old.
