Aging and death are a fact.
With a little mental preparation you can deal with it with confidence.
1. As we get older, the number of people we need will continue to decrease. The parents and the generation before them left. Many of his contemporaries were exhausted and deprived of opportunities. The younger generation may not have time to look after their parents because of the hustle and bustle of their life problems. At this point many life partners may have passed before they can expect it. That is when loneliness and emptiness take hold. So this is the first lesson. Love loneliness and learn to live happily alone.
2. As you grow older, society will begin to forget you. No matter how great, as you get older you become one of the other old people. All previous glories will be gone. You have to be mentally prepared to step aside into a corner by giving priority to others. If possible, look curiously at the noise and views of those who follow. Blessed are those who overcome grief and jealousy. This is the second biggest lesson.
3. Later life is a time of health problems. Fall, fracture, damage to the arteries and brain, cancer. Thus unavoidable diseases and ailments come together like unavoidable companions. It is vain to dream of a peaceful old age free from any diseases. Aging will be a blessing if you are able to enjoy a decent life without grumbling and quarreling, following all the moderate exercises regularly.
4. Fraudsters and swindlers will have the opportunity to travel after sixty. These people are well aware that the elderly have a lot of savings and assets. Therefore, they are constantly devising strategies to hijack it. A variety of products, shortcuts to make quick money, single cures to prolong life and cure diseases, spiritual scams like miraculous cure if nothing happens ... beware and manage money wisely.
5. Born close to your mother, you have gone through many life experiences and are again in a position to be cared for by others. Only one difference ... If you had a mother to take care of you lovingly then, no one would be around today. You will probably be cared for in the last days by any nurse who has nothing to do with any ICU. Try to be thankful for everything without complaints.
6. Do not think that you are older and more knowledgeable and superior than others. Don't worry about other people's problems or your children's or grandchildren's problems. Do not argue with anyone unnecessarily. It hurts others and puts you under stress. We must learn to live humbly, free from pride and arrogance. As you grow older, you need to be able to recognize the importance of respecting others and being self-respecting. At the end of life one must be mentally prepared to be pure without attachments to worldly relationships. The journey of life is a natural flow, live it with balance.
7. Avoid greed for excessive gain ... for whom? .... stupidity ... let us live with dignity for ourselves. Do not be stingy there. A situation may arise where even a single rupee coin cannot be touched with the hand from what has been earned. Sadly, we can only see the wealth being shared and wasted by others.
8. By the end of the journey, the light will dim and darkness will begin to cover you. The way forward will begin to become unclear, and the subsequent journey will be difficult. So by the time we reach sixty, we must learn to be happy with what we have and start celebrating life. It doesn't matter if you live your life to the fullest!
Take a look back at the dead here! He who enjoys and lives well is intelligent !!. Whoever is not is a fool !!
Decide for yourself whether you are intelligent or stupid .. !!
