The Wisdom of Retirement: The Philosophy of Life in Ancient Teachings.
Pension is a stage of life that everyone has to face. In this process, how we can live better and more comfortably is a concern for everyone. In fact, the wisdom of the ancients has provided us with a lot of valuable guidance. Today, let's take a look at one of the ancient sayings: "When people pass sixty-six, they walk around the four places."
The meaning of this sentence is that when a person reaches the age of sixty-six, there are four places that are best to walk around. So, what are these four places? Why do we go around? Next, let's reveal them one by one.
First of all, we need to go to the graveyard less. You might say that a cemetery is a place to commemorate a loved one who has passed away, so why walk around? In fact, the less going to the cemetery here does not mean that we should not remember our deceased relatives, but that we should control our emotions and not grieve excessively. After all, it is a natural law that people are born, old, sick and die. If we are immersed in grief all the time, it is not only bad for our physical health, but it may also affect the emotions of our family members. Therefore, when we go to the cemetery, we must learn to adjust our emotions and face them with a peaceful mind.
Secondly, we need to avoid excessive involvement in gambling activities. Gambling is an addictive game. Winning can make us complacent, and losing can make us dissatisfied. What's more, gambling can also cause us to lose our minds and make irrational decisions. These decisions may have a serious impact on our families and careers. Therefore, in our old age, we must stay away from gambling, keep a clear mind and a harmonious family atmosphere.
We need to go less to unfamiliar places. As we age, our body functions gradually decline, and our ability to adapt to the environment also decreases. If we often go to unfamiliar places, we may experience physical discomfort because we do not adapt to the environment. Moreover, unfamiliar places may also have some security risks that pose a threat to our safety. Therefore, in old age, we should try to avoid going to unfamiliar places. If you have to go out, be sure to let a family member or friend know where you are, and carry a communication tool such as a cell phone with you so you can ask for help if you need it.
Finally, we must pay attention to our own image and avoid going to Fengyue places. As seniors, we should set a positive image and set an example for future generations. If we often go to Fengyue places, it may not only damage our image, but also cause unnecessary distress and misunderstanding to our family. Therefore, in our old age, we must pay attention to our words and deeds, so that our words and deeds are consistent, and we are consistent with what we say and what we do.
So how can we really achieve "people over sixty-six, walking around in all directions"? I think first of all we have to have a positive mindset. Only with a positive mindset can we better face the challenges and difficulties in life. Secondly, we need to have a healthy lifestyle. Only when we are healthy can we better enjoy life and enjoy life. Finally, we need to have a harmonious family atmosphere. Only when the family is harmonious, can we better feel the warmth and happiness of home.
In short, the ancient adage of "people over sixty-six, walking around the four places" reminds us: on the road of old-age care, we must learn to choose, know how to give up, and pay attention to self-protection. Only in this way can we truly enjoy the happiness and tranquility of our old age. At the same time, we should also maintain good communication and exchanges with our children to create a harmonious and happy family atmosphere. Let's work together to make life better and more exciting in old age!
