An inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of scenery. As people get older, they start to think about how to spend their old age. Some people look forward to traveling with their spouses, or living a secluded life, full of beautiful imagination. However, the reality is often cruel, life will eventually lead to old age, and the arrival of old age also means facing various practical problems.
Perhaps at this moment, the wife has already left first, and the wealth in his hand has gradually drifted away, and he has to pass it on to his children and grandchildren. Houses have become insignificant, and perhaps nursing homes have become a practical option. At this stage, if there are the following hole cards, old age can be regarded as true happiness.
01 Be in good health and take care of yourself.
In old age, good health is the most valuable asset. Being alive is not only about being able to breathe and eat, but more importantly about being able to walk freely and take care of yourself. If you lose your health, you may not be able to use your wealth properly. Healthy seniors are able to walk outdoors and enjoy a free and easy mood, while those living in wheelchairs or beds face pain and helplessness.
Xia Zhiqing once said: "Health is to live happily, not to live a long life." Live happily in yourself, live long in heaven. No matter how long you live, old age can be more enjoyable as long as you can stay healthy. Just like the old man Bai Jinghui in the TV series "North and South", a healthy old man, even if he is single, can find new happiness through a positive attitude towards life.
02 Children are filial and decent for the rest of their lives.
In old age, the filial piety of children is the greatest happiness of the elderly. Many people want someone to accompany them through the years in order to start a family when they are young. However, when love fades, children become the support of life. Children's filial piety is not only reflected in material things, but also in companionship and care. With filial children, even if the old age is hard, you can face it calmly.
03 Adhere to virtue and get help from society.
The virtues of older people have a direct impact on their status in society. Virtuous elderly people not only make their children proud, but also gain respect and help from others in society. The story of Zhang Yong in the Northern Song Dynasty tells us that good character is not only a contribution to the family, but also the foundation for building prestige in society.
04 Develop good Xi in middle age.
In fact, the last hole card of the elderly is a good Xi developed in middle age. Raising good children, doing good deeds, cherishing what you have, exercising actively, and focusing on inner enrichment are all the cornerstones of old age. Life is like a grain of sand, sand accumulates into a tower, and good Xi will play a huge role in old age.
