Poet Hai Zi said: "From tomorrow, be a happy man, feed the horses, chop wood, and travel around the world." This is the yearning for a free life realm, and this yearning is the goal of every mass pursuit. Just face the reality, most people and choose the earthly life, will spend more time to pay for daily chores, eat, sleep, work hard, fight life, this is the indispensable course of each person's growth stage, but also every young people similar life trajectory.
How should older people spend their later years, however?
I think the elderly should pursue a free life. Of course, this freedom is legal, compliant, and in line with public morals. This way of life in old age is mainly manifested in the following four aspects:
One, according to their own dreams and do
Most of the people who are young due to a number of factors and give up their dreams, this dream should be picked up again in old age, should believe that to do what they like, what age to start is not too late. The word "old age" beautifully describes this phenomenon.
It was in 2015, China International Fashion Week, 79-year-old Wang Deshun old man runway show. After the show, the old man was called "old fresh meat", "the most handsome moncler.
Once in the eyes of the public, the age of 79 years old, fully qualified senior, can sit at home in the sun, groups of three to five, together with the nagging, or mortar and pestle cane hobbling. This is the phenomenon that most elderly people show, and is the destiny of most people elderly people.
But those who live by their dreams are free from this mundane notion, day in and day out, preparing for their dreams, and when the opportunity arises, it's a blast. Wang Deshun's case in his own words: "is to have a dream to go after, live with vigor". For many elderly people, they should also pursue their dreams and have more time to work hard for them.
Two, according to their own hobbies and do
Talking about the dream may be many people feel distant, then these people think that the dream is far away from the elderly, their retirement life should at least be based on their own interests and do. Interest is the best teacher, do their own interest in things will mobilize their own passion, will make their own to maintain a good state of mind.
For example, older people who like to paint can form a painting group, older people who like to sing can form a singing group, and older people who like calligraphy can form a calligraphy contest. Each older person can according to their own interests to participate in, participate in the corresponding group life, so that not only expand their new circle of friends, but also able to show their own talent, into the unique circle of life of the elderly, to their own hobbies and do.
Three, as far as possible to reduce the housework
Doing some simple chores is conducive to strengthening the body, is conducive to maintaining good health, which is necessary. However, now most of the elderly at home but take up the obligation of "nanny", many families have a unique landscape, the elderly both every day to buy food to cook, but also need to send and pick up the grandchildren to school, the workload has been far greater than their own body is able to bear the work.
The fact that the elderly in the family occasionally do some housework, care for the younger generation, is conducive to family harmony, but excessive housework and care for the younger generation, not only the body can not afford, but also not conducive to the healthy growth of the younger generation. As a result, every older person needs to spend more time in their old age, to ensure that they have a healthy body is the most important thing, rather than spend all the time doing housework or taking care of the younger generation at home.
Four, focus on spiritual needs
For most of the elderly, the material needs are gradually fading, the pursuit of Mingli is no longer as strong as when young, so the elderly should focus on the pursuit of spiritual freedom. All the law from the heart, the spirit of the free, will be less blind comparison, more happy mood; less selfish struggle, more spontaneous, so as to live the life of a wild crane.
