Sometimes you hear that just after retirement from a strenuous career, the person gets cancer or has a heart attack and cannot enjoy their retirement.
If we keep ourselves in a state of complete exertion, we will not even be aware of the aches and pains in our body. We keep pushing ourselves in order to keep up with our work. Then when we relax our mind and body, some problem will manifest and give us trouble. It is just like when a house has a small problem but you don’t fix it. The problem may not be causing too much trouble for quite some time, but the situation is steadily getting worse as time goes by. At some point you will have to give it your full attention, because a major repair will be in order.
It is important to remember to work, but not to overwork, and rest, but not get lazy.
Theoretically yes. But life is hard to keep balancing.
ReplyDeleteI am yet not in the retiring moment, but I think it will be boring and getting old easily.
