How old does a person live to think that this life is worth living? According to the average life expectancy in the world, many people think that living to 70 years old is enough. There is no need to live too long. Living too long is not a good thing. What is the reason?
Compared with the young post-90 s and post-00 s, the older post-60 s and post-70 s are actually more eager to live longer. "Long life" is what we often say when celebrating the birthday of the elderly. This is also the traditional thinking of China people. We hope that the old man in front of us will stay with us longer.
But at the same time, we can see that our understanding of longevity is actually only reflected in the number of years, not including quality of life, physical health, mental state and so on. If we want to explain longevity from a scientific point of view, we should give it a complete definition, and the most objective standard should be longevity plus normal self-care ability.
However, after 90 s and 00 s, it is generally believed that if you can live long and take care of yourself at the same time, in fact, about 70 years old is the dividing line. So they think people should be satisfied when they live to 70 years old.
When it comes to long-lived elderly people, what comes to mind at first is "heavy things are difficult to lift", "stumbling" or "being confused and forgetful"? In fact, these impression keywords all reflect a problem that can't be ignored, that is, it is difficult for the long-lived elderly to think of pursuing exquisite quality of life, because for the elderly of this age, how to stay healthy and pursue a longer life span is their deep-seated need.
Therefore, the endless stream of health care products scams has a wide audience. The old man took out his pension without thinking and took the initiative to put it in the liar's pocket. Because of their age, they are particularly sensitive to the passage of time. These health products can comfort them more or less.
In fact, the existence of health care products is only a psychological suggestion, and the optimistic and open-minded attitude is what the old people really need to maintain. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about the length of life, because the length of life mainly depends on congenital conditions and psychological factors with longevity genes.
Academician Zhong Nanshan, 84, is full of vigor, and Grandpa Yuan Longping, 90, is full of vigor all his life. It is difficult for people to see the traces left by years on him, which shows that good psychological quality determines people's health and longevity. Aging is irreversible. What we can do is to accept it with a positive attitude, and then experience the new experience brought by this era with this attitude.
Confucius said, "I am determined to learn from five out of ten, to stand at thirty, to be puzzled at forty, to know my destiny at fifty, to be obedient at sixty, and not to overstep my bounds at seventy."
"Do what you want without exceeding the moment" includes two aspects, one is to let nature take its course, and the other is to be happy with it.
What do you mean "let nature take its course"? For others, you should care less about things and less about trifles. Be true to yourself, do what you are really interested in, and don't care about other people's prejudices and opinions. Don't panic about the natural aging of the body, and don't be afraid of death, which means "let nature take its course".
What does "let it be" mean? You can face the joys and sorrows of life calmly, and you don't like things or feel sorry for yourself. In any case, you keep a cool and calm attitude, which is called "let it be".
In this long journey of life, every decade should be regarded as a new starting point and a great opportunity to pursue a different life style. Seventy-year-old, as a short period in the journey of life, should focus on any part of the landscape of life, or the past or the future, and naturally have different feelings in different moods. This is the most precious spiritual wealth that experience has given us.
Going back to Confucius' remarks, Confucius said that he was learning and cultivating. He believes that people's ideological realm and moral cultivation are also constantly improved with age. Therefore, at the age of seventy, they should reach the highest level of ideological realm and moral cultivation.
Self-cultivation is a step-by-step process, so when you reach the age of 70, people's behaviors and rules will be more integrated, and their understanding of moral norms will be deeper, so that they will be more mature in dealing with people. These are treasures that only age can bring.
Is the pursuit of fashion the exclusive term for young people? Of course not, but why do we always talk about a famous old man with "fashion" and "youth"? Our attitude is somewhat surprising and our tone is somewhat incredible, because our inherent impression of the old man is simple and low-key, and "fashion" is not synonymous with the old man. But can age limit people's pursuit of fashion and quality of life?
The grandmother of network celebrity Wang Biyun is a 79-year-old man. Grandma Wang's hobby is Latin dance. Age has not prevented her from developing her hobby, but because of this hobby, her temperament from the inside out is vividly reflected in her. Not only that, but her management of skin and figure has never been sloppy.
Self-disciplined attitude towards life and the pursuit of quality of life make her look like a "sister" instead of wrinkles at her grandmother's age.
Fashion has no age limit. Not only can people in their twenties buy Hermes bags, but they can't own the latest Apple devices, and they can't dance street dances and sing pop songs. It is not surprising that an old man in his seventies is willing and likes to pursue fashion trends and new things, because it is also a reflection of their attitude towards life.
"Quality of life" is an abstract noun. How to concretize this word is actually a science. Since we can remember, we have been studying hard and preparing for improving the quality of life, but such preparation is difficult to be recognized by ourselves, because everyone's cognition of the quality of life is different.
Perhaps, in some people's ideas, money and material things are more direct than the empty word "quality". As we all know, improving the quality of life can subtly affect our living conditions and even our attitude towards life.
Whether to value the quality of life has a decisive influence on a person's temperament, even at a glance. Because they think that every detail in life deserves to be treated well and pursue the best things and life under the existing conditions, they have a broader mind and spiritual space.
Whether to value the quality of life actually means whether a person can appreciate life and make people feel new strength and enthusiasm in the process of pursuing quality, so as to enrich life and realize higher ideals.
Enjoying life is a great proposition throughout life. Seventy years old is different from thirty years old. Without the pressure of getting married, you can do what you really want to do more easily and enjoy every day of your life anytime, anywhere.
Life is a long way, and there are still many scenery worth seeing.
