They are a class by itself. They have their own way of living compared to the people who live an active life to fulfill their materialistic aims and objectives before they enter into the retired life. Of course, the senior citizens are resourceful because they saw the life more than the people in active phase. But their activity automatically gets limited, unless it is a compulsion, may be due to less energy or due to less cognizance in the society. <br /><br />I have stated only the facts of life and the way to live as I felt best.sudhenduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141868803784754404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197788180975233074.post-19880424269344767412010-03-17T12:56:50.891+05:302010-03-17T12:56:50.891+05:30Most of the Senior Citizens are quite active and r...Most of the Senior Citizens are quite active and resourceful. Perhaps you are talking about the minority group that is frustrated with life and keeps sulking away from active life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197788180975233074.post-15300247580626366882010-03-15T22:30:48.966+05:302010-03-15T22:30:48.966+05:30True, why the retired persons mostly can not find ...True, why the retired persons mostly can not find their ways of exitence ? Active life while in service or in profession is one phase, entailing determination, target- achievement and challanges. Retirement is quite another. It is pchychological that nothing meaningful remains there to have mental stimulation. You can make new friends, learn new topics or you can be club-minded. These are all alternatives to active life, because it is necessary to pull on till the days of life expire. Of course age is a factor according to nature's dictat. Any attempt to resurrect vitality of mind in old age is retarded by self contradictions and also due to the fact that the whole of the society looks upon the aged people with compassion. It happens eventually and therefore it is not a pessimistic approach to life of the older generation. New friends can be found out but that warmth and bondage of friedship as it had been in young age will be absent. To try other areas for keeing mental reflexes on, would not be exciting, because it is human nature to find out something meaningful in any activity.<br /><br />Therefore, according to me it is not at all necessary to find out ways and means for maintaining the upbit mind of the old people. Never be keen to question your mind whether you are really old to take up any thing new. I feel that I should only accept whatever comes on my way of living without devising any formula of existence. Live with pleasure and leisure to the extent and amount as an old man contends. After all, every body has to pass this way once in life and no body shall pass that way again, left behind. <br /><br />Of course, reading, thinking and writing could be the immense pleasure and deep involvement of mind which is enriched by wisdom. Can we not dip therein ? <br /><br />You may like to see my blog http://www.sudhendu-sudhendusblog.blogspot.comsudhenduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141868803784754404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197788180975233074.post-45190385177851753312010-03-14T06:50:03.601+05:302010-03-14T06:50:03.601+05:30Another very well written article.

In fact, I have earned it.' - seems to be the attitude of many seniors.<br /><br />To make such people act, sufficient incentive (in the after-life or in this life)or sufficient compulsion can work.<br /><br />Being naturally active and energetic, thereby maintaining excellent health, is a gift.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
