What happens if you caress your inner “grandmother” at 40?
In his younger years, few people think about how he feels. old-age. What will happen in a few decades seems too distant and unworthy of attention. At least people don’t think much about old age.
First of all, you have to live to old age. And secondly, even the point to create savings for old age, many do not see. Either the incomes are small to postpone something significant, or there is no faith that in a year or two everything will not depreciate, or there is a fear that everything will be sued, taken away.
Third, old age is synonymous with infirmity and disease. They do not hope for the future, but for those who are close to them. But how can you be so sure that the people around you will behave the way you planned?
In old age, we do not think about old age. In youth, everyone wears, gives his life to children, nephews, employers, the country. And from thoughts of old age only shrugs off, like from an annoying fly. I wish I could live, and there's no way. Nothing is guaranteed in old age. Except a tiny pension and a few benefits, writes Daria.
“I have a neighbor, a woman of retirement age. I complain that every time he comes to the clinic, he hears astonished exclamations “Well, what did you want?” Age! Thank you, Grandma, for being alive. So go home, don't delay people. How many able-bodied people are still in line.”
“Sometimes I hear myself talkThose who complain about life at every turn. But why complain? I understand, of course, that living at 70 is not as fun as living at 25 or even 40. But isn't everything timeless?
“Someone is not lucky enough to live to old age. On the one hand, I did not have a chance to face aging, with changes in the body. On the other hand, they did not see how their children grew up, did not see their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They did not see their descendants build their own homes and have their own families. There's a lot you haven't seen.

The man himself must change... “I believe that in addition to the fact that everything around us changes over the years, the person himself must also change. The only question is whether he will be able to get acquainted with his new self, whether he will be able to understand and accept his new sides.
“If not, the body will continue to function, but the soul will cease to function. And then it will be left to such a person only to drag his physical shell back and forth until the forces are completely exhausted.”
In this regard, I recall the wise statement of the Soviet actress Olga Aleksandrovna Aroseva, who said: Do not regret that you are getting old - many were denied this. Life is given to all, and old age is given only to the elect.” Very accurate and wise words, don’t you think? – shared her thoughts.
Indeed, Olga Aroseva picked up very apt words. After all, if a person has lived to the late stage of his life, if he still has health and is not alone, is it worth complaining?
Of course, there can be troubles at any stage of life that deserve our time. But at the same time, there is always a place for pleasant moments, which, unfortunately, we do not always pay due attention to.
Although many pleasant episodes (for example, related to the same grandchildren or great-grandchildren) are possible only in the final stage of life. So why not see it as another challenge on a long journey?
