Happiness is a feeling of living. When certain wishes, desires and beliefs are realized, there is a sense of satisfaction. In that moment, people feel happy. Of course, people's wishes and desires change and improve, so happiness also changes.
People retire in old age, without the pressure of work, without the hardships of life, without the temptation of fame and fortune, life begins a second spring. As far as the average person is concerned, the average life expectancy of a person is about 80 years old, and if we retire at 60, then we have at least a dozen years left for ourselves. During this time, we have been relieved of the burden of work and family, and our children have formed their own small families and have the ability to take on family responsibilities. During this time, there is more free time to do the hobbies that we were interested in when we were younger but didn't have the time to cultivate. During this time, find a healthier, happier and more joyful way of life.
As they age, the first half of a senior's life is over, their careers are over, and their past glories are gone. In the first half of their lives, they worked hard to keep busy with life, family and children. Health is the foundation of the life of the elderly. Without a healthy body, there is no happy old age. At the same time, seniors need to change their minds appropriately and do what they want to do. Remember to have a healthy body and mind at any age.
In addition, in later years, you can participate in more senior activities, such as square dancing, and appropriate communication can slow down the shrinkage of the hippocampus of the brain. One of the good ways to prevent Alzheimer's disease is to communicate, think and talk more, so that the brain usually feels excited. Good thinking and mental state is one of the signs of happiness in our later years.
From birth to death, we fight for what we want, and we fight for it all our lives, which means that life's whole life is about the end goal. Perhaps in your youth you want happiness and freedom, and in your old age you want health and longevity. Achieving these goals often comes with difficulties and setbacks. It's easy to neglect your health when you're young and pursue things outside of yourself. What should older people care about as they age is important to them, but what should older people care about as they age?
I think happiness as I truly understand it is good health, a happy family, and looking away from life. Learning to put aside personal grievances and maintain a good attitude towards people and things around you. Learn to be more understanding and forgiving; give up too many desires and stop arguing; learn to give back what you have. Learn to let go of attachments to your children, who have their own blessings and may be more stable and better off without your help. The greatest happiness of the elderly is the happiness of the family.
Love home, love yourself, love life, love health, I believe this is the majority of older people aspire to later life, do you think?
