There is no such disease as OLD AGE

What we do today will certainly bear fruit tomorrow. But it is not customary to think about old age in advance. Because it's almost pointless.

Firstly, it is not known whether you will live to see noble gray hair.

Secondly, saving money for the best clinics and highly professional nurses is a utopia. All the same, they will be taken away, nullified and bankrupt.

Thirdly, old age is associated with infirmity, impotence and disease. In such world, one cannot count on oneself. Only for loved ones. And people are illogical beings. It is not known how they will behave.

Either they will lend a helping hand and call an ambulance in time. So it turns out that all your life you give yourself to children, grandchildren, work and the Motherland, and in old age nothing is guaranteed to you, except for a tiny allowance, which is only enough for food

Sometimes I become an unwitting witness to the conversations of older people and I am extremely surprised by negative moods, complaints are not life. Of course, I understand with my mind that at 25 life is happier and easier than at 65. But everything has its time.

After all, there are people who, for some reason, did not live to old age. They did not have a chance to see how their children grow up, how their grandchildren are born. How the younger generation repairs and builds houses, how the trees that were once seedlings rustle.

And one more curious thing is to change with age yourself and get to know your new self. And aren't these the advantages of age? Life is outrageously short. And it is always short, no matter how long a person lives. Constantly looking for new experiences

And if not? This means that the human body is still alive, but the soul is no longer there and all that remains is to walk around the wide world and drag this shell back and forth until its physiology finally fades away.

I don't know how old you are, my reader, but I think you will be interested to know that:

Mark Cato, a Roman senator, learned Greek at 80 years old.

Socrates only at the age of 70 learned to play many musical instruments and managed to master this art to perfection.

Michelangelo created his most significant paintings at the age of 80.

At the age of 80, Goethe finished his Faust.

The German historian Leopold Ranke finished his World History at the age of 91.

Isaac Newton, at the age of 85, was busy with tireless activity.

Leo Tolstoy at the age of 83 managed on the field with a scythe in such a way that young mowers could not keep up with him. The gray-bearded author of "War and Peace" in these "venerable summers" skated, rode a bicycle, rode a horse and squatted with a "pistol" (on one leg) more than 40 times!

The famous Soviet composer and conductor Igor worked until the age of 88.

The poet Beranger worked until the age of 77. Leo Tolstoy - up to 82, Victor Hugo - up to 83; the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles - up to 90 years.

By the way, not so long ago, American scientists, together with their European colleagues, published a sensational discovery: it turns out that the human brain does not develop until 25-30 years old, as previously thought, but up to 50 years. Moreover, if a person continues to engage in active mental activity, then brain aging almost does not occur

Why am I telling you all this? Only to one thing: there is no such disease - "old age", but there are only incorrect psychological attitudes. Don't believe everything you hear, even if it's in your own head.

All the biggest barriers and obstacles in our lives are within us. Break them! Our soul, our inner strength has no age. As long as we are alive, we still have a chance to rise higher - to take at least one more height on the path of our spiritual ascent. Don't wait for better times - there can only be one better time. It's called "now".

Do not regret that you are getting old, many have been denied this. Life is given to everyone, old age is given to the elect
