When we walk down the street and see those lonely old people, we may feel a little sympathy, or maybe we think of our parents.
We often associate the elderly with poverty, disease, and loneliness, believing that they have lost the meaning and joy of life.
But, you know what?In their lives, there are also three hole cards that we can't see.
These hole cards are their support and motivation in the final stage of life, and they are also the precious wealth and inspiration they leave us.
These three hole cards, although they seem ordinary, contain profound wisdom and value in life. These three hole cards are not money, let alone a wife.
So, what are these hole cards?How do these hole cards make the old people happy to old age?
Good health is one of the last cards of the elderly, and it is also the most important one.
Without health, money, love, and family affection will be meaningless. Health is the foundation for the elderly to enjoy life, and it is also the premise for them to maintain self-esteem and self-reliance.
Imagine what would happen to you if you weren't in good health
May go to the hospital frequently, spend a lot of time and money, and endure all kinds of pain and inconvenience;Losing a lot of opportunities and fun, not being able to travel, not being able to exercise;will become a burden to others and need care and help;They will become withdrawn and negative, losing confidence and hope in life.
On the contrary, if you are in good health, you will have more freedom and choice. You can do what you want to do and experience what you want to experience.
You will have more joy and can share your joy with your family and friendsYou will have more dignity to manage your own life, set an example for your children and grandchildren, and have confidence and hope in life.
Which of these two lives would you choose?I guess the answer is obvious.
Healthy old people are undoubtedly happy old people. Their lives are not only to live, but to live meaningfully, with quality and dignity.
They use their health to prove the wonder and value of old age. They use their health to win the respect and love of others. They use their health to enjoy the beauty and happiness of life.
As scholar Zhou Guoping said:"Health is about living happily, not about living long. Live happily in yourself, live long in heaven. ”
Healthy old people, no matter how old they live, are lucky. They don't torture themselves and they don't cause trouble to others. Their life is the highest state and blessing.
Children's filial piety is the second of the old man's last hole cards, and it is also the warmest one.
Children are the heart and soul of the elderly, the continuation of their lives, and their greatest hope and comfort. The growth, happiness and filial piety of children have an irreplaceable impact on the lives of the elderly.
Imagine what would happen to you if your children were not filial
You may feel disappointed and sad and feel like you have been raised for so many years in vain and have not been rewarded and respected as you deserve. You may feel lonely and helpless, feeling like you have no one to care for and care for, and no one to accompany and comfort you. You may feel angry and remorseful that you have not educated your children well and have not set a good example and values for them.
Conversely, what would you do if your children were filial?
You may feel relieved and happy that your efforts have not been in vain, and that you have received the gratitude and respect of your children. You may feel warm and safe, feeling cared for and cared for, accompanied and comforted. You may feel proud and proud that you have educated your children well and set a good example and values for them.
Which of these two lives would you choose?I think the answer is obvious.
A filial child is undoubtedly a happy child. Their life is not only to honor their parents, but also to honor themselves, society, and heaven and earth.
These old people are our role models and pride. With their children, they proved the warmth and happiness of old age. They use their children to win the respect and appreciation of others. They used their children to enjoy the beauty and happiness of life.
As Fugui in "Alive" said:"I live to see you live. ”Filial children, no matter how old they are, are lucky. They have honored not only their parents, but also themselves and society. Their life is the highest state and blessing.
Sticking to virtue is the third of the old man's last cards, and it is also the most powerful.
Virtue is the personality of the elderly, their beliefs, and their qualities. Virtue determines the social status and interpersonal relationships of the elderly, and also affects their psychological state and well-being.
Imagine what would happen to you if you were not virtuous?You may be looked down upon and ostracized, feeling that you have no status and dignity, no friends and loved ones. You may be bullied and feel like you are insecure and have no rights. You may be spurned and feel that you have no morals and no happiness.
On the contrary, if you were virtuous, what would you do?You will be respected, you will be helped and supported, you will be praised and admired, and you will feel that you have a conscience and morality, and you will be happy and happy.
Which of these two lives would you choose?I think the answer is obvious.
A virtuous old man is undoubtedly a happy old man. Their life is not only to adhere to principles, but also to adhere to conscience, humanity, and heavenly principles.
With their virtues, they proved the power and value of old age. They used their virtues to win the trust and respect of others. They used their virtues to enjoy the beauty and happiness of life.
As Zhang Yong of the Northern Song Dynasty said: "If you are obedient, you will go against the public, and the cliff will not be good. ”
Virtuous old people, no matter how old they are, are lucky.
They not only stick to themselves, but also to society, and also stick to the way of heaven. Their life is the highest state and blessing.
Old age is not as boring as we often think. In the lives of the elderly, there are still some hole cards that we can't see, which are their support in the last stage of life, and they are also the precious wealth and inspiration they leave us.
These hole cards are not money and wives, but "good health, filial piety of children, and adherence to virtue".
These three hole cards, although they seem ordinary, contain profound wisdom and value in life. They make the elderly feel warm and meaningful in the last stage of their lives.
We should cherish these precious and intangible treasures, so that we can feel a warm and meaningful presence in the last stage of life.
