After a long time, quietly, the long scroll of life has slowly unfolded to the twilight years.
At this stage, although the boat of life no longer rides the wind and waves and moves forward, it also has a unique charm, carrying the calmness and detachment of the years.
Just like the alternation of the sun and the moon, life in later life also has its own unique difficulties and challenges.
They are not like the confusion of teenagers, with a little ignorance and longing; It is not the hard work of young people, full of infinite vitality and passion.
It is more introverted and deep, as if it is the text in an old book, although it is not eye-catching, but it contains the most real understanding of life.
There are three kinds of suffering, which may be the circumstances that everyone who has stepped into their old age will have to face sooner or later.
First, the aging of the body is inevitable
With the rise of age, the body is like a castle that has been through vicissitudes, slowly showing the imprint of the years.
What was once a bell-like voice may now be hoarse and low; The hands that were once smart and powerful may have been carved by the carving knife of time, and their movements are no longer agile.
Sickness and aging, like unexpected uninvited guests, silently invade every cell and every joint.
This kind of suffering is the inevitable process of life development, which makes people helpless to face the decline of their own vitality and the strong desire for health.
In the face of this scene, we may feel hesitant and uneasy, but more importantly, we will rethink and cherish life. We know how to explore the tenacity of life in the midst of illness and the preciousness of time in aging.
Every improvement of the condition is a profound understanding of life, which makes us cherish every moment of the moment more and more.
The second suffering: loneliness and loneliness follow you like a shadow
In his later years, especially after the departure of his wife and children, loneliness and loneliness became the norm.
The partners who used to talk together may drift away for various reasons, leaving only deep nostalgia and a lonely past.
As the children rush for their future, the focus of their lives gradually shifts, and they are often left alone in the house.
This kind of loneliness is not only the coldness of the surrounding environment, but also a kind of loss and expectation in the depths of my heart.
It makes people think in the long dusk, reminiscing about the excitement and warmth of the past.
But loneliness is also a silent guide, which leads us to go deep into the inner world and learn to discover the beauty of life in silence.
We may play chess and sing with the old people who also cherish the time in the evening square, and that harmony and happiness is the most powerful response to loneliness and loneliness.
Or in the morning, draw a simple painting, enjoy a bouquet of blooming flowers, let your mood fly with the colors and fragrances, and immerse yourself in the peace and comfort of solitude.
The third suffering: gradually forgetting, losing the closest people and the most precious memories.
Memory, like a train shuttling through the time tunnel, carries our past and emotions. However, as the years passed, the track of memory seemed to become more and more difficult to move smoothly.
Those experiences that were once as bright as the stars are slowly becoming bleak and even difficult to pursue. Remembering the appearance of loved ones, forgetting the beautiful places you have visited, and losing the happy times spent with your best friends, these seemingly ordinary forgettings are actually deep interrogations about the course of life.
Losing memories makes people fall into an indescribable dazed and powerless, as if an important piece of the puzzle of their life is missing.
But it is precisely in this melancholy that we learn to accept and learn to look forward. We understand that the value of life is not only to preserve memories, but also to constantly explore, experience and transcend.
Even if the memory will eventually dissipate like smoke, the wonderful and shocking experience will forever be engraved on the soul and become our most precious collection.
When people reach old age, these three kinds of suffering, like the three quenching of life, let us mature in suffering, realize in forgetting, and find the truth in silence.
They are indeed bitter, but they also give a different kind of affection and bearing in their later years. Just like the ancient clock that has been eroded by the years, although it is rusty, the sound is strong, revealing a kind of calmness and solemnity after the vicissitudes of life.
Let us always be able to accept every pain and joy in this later life with a quiet and enthusiastic heart at the sunset moment of life. Because it is these journeys that make our lives more fulfilling and meaningful.
