Life without stress: background problems of later life LIFE WITHOUT STRESS: BACKGROUND PROBLEMS OF LATER LIFE
The older phase brings problems of its own. It is the finish of the race that counts. The last phase can be good, very good, if we just manage things in the way that we should. Manage ourselves. And it can be good in a way that the youngsters in middle life simply do not understand.
What can I do?
« I am old. Enfeebled. Would do something, but I can't. What can the aged do? »
The aged can do this. And I have seen many a one who has done it. The older phase is the time for sorting things out. Of letting some inner understanding come to us. And with it, when this understanding comes, we have a tranquility which we did not have before.
You may ask, 'What kind of doing is this?' It is the doing of something deep in the laws of nature.
The older person who achieves tranquility with age has an effect, a deep effect, on others. This is a doing of something quite profound. And it may come without the aged one's knowledge as to what it is all about.
What might have been?
«Old and living alone, that's me. Plagued by thoughts. What might have been? What could have been? What I did not do. What I did not do too well. The thoughts crowd in a stream of restlessness, and I cannot sit still.
'Discomfort and pain make me irritable in a way I have not been before.»
The messages that crowd our brain from the events of past years lose their intensity in the friendly company of others. Companionship, with the pleasant nattering of old people, of one with the other, with the recollections of times past, helps the brain to settle.
Let our mind run easy. Practice it at those times when the discomfort is less pronounced. By letting our mind run easy, our perception of discomfort and pain becomes so much the less.
I am useless
«Young people don't understand. It is unlikely that you have even thought of being useless. Just utterly useless. But I am old and this is reality, and it plagues my mind. The rosebush in the garden serves a purpose. So it is with the grass in the fields. What purpose do I serve? Nothing. The idea of uselessness shadows my thoughts as does the noose with the condemned man. »
Life is giving and taking. There are many good takers and some good givers. Those that have been givers must learn that a time comes for their role to change. To accept as well as to give. When you learn to accept as well as to give, the crowding thoughts of uselessness no longer make such a background cause of stress.
