I've been thinking about life lately. None of us knows what will happen tomorrow and we are all planning for the future. We think about time in 20, 30 years much more than the time we live in. Most people plan their lives to secure a good old age and time goes by. By the time you turn that age comes, time has passed and you can't come back. You did everything and created what you wanted, you have as much time as you want but you are old and you can't do anything. It's a mistake. You need to live now. I divided my life into three stages, early age, middle or mature age and old age. I think a man is twice a baby from birth until he dies. Let's begin.

Early age

The best time is when a child is born until the end of college. A carefree time when everyone cares about you. When you don't think about anything. When everything is possible, when nothing is untouchable. There is a saying in my country about that period of life, they think that everything that flies can be eaten. 😀 I would gladly go back to that period of life when others took care of bills, food, clothes, everything, and mine was just to learn and have fun.

Middle or mature age

During the first period, early age, you think unconsciously about high school, you want to grow up as soon as possible, you want to be great and have everything. Then that time comes and you ask to be a child again, for others to take care of you because middle age, apart from being hard, working and just working is also a great responsibility. You have to take care of someone, everything that someone did for you in that period is now expected of you.

Old age

I will return to the sentence that in my opinion a man is a baby twice. Old age is the period when a man becomes a baby. Slowly but surely they begin to seek help from children or someone they have around them. In the beginning it will be a little help, and later more and more and then without someone else's help a man in old age cannot live. Usually children take care of their parents, and someone is placed in a nursing home where professionals take care. I would mention middle age again. Why? Because in addition to regular obligations, caring for children and caring for parents is one big obligation.

Final words

In the end, I would like to write that one of our authors wrote a song called "Better to be drunk than old" . I used his song for the title of the article. I agree that it is true that it is difficult to be old, I mean that it is very difficult that some basic things you can not do alone but seek and expect help from a third party. So "it is better to be drunk than old" . 😊 When a person starts to depend on others, it is perhaps the most difficult period in life. So live life now, not later, and when old age comes, it is welcome.
