- Latest Review: Hunger of the Pine by Teal Swan
I think this is a good example of how modernization has changed people's perspective across the globe. Back in the day, life was more limited in scope, hence communities were more tight-knit, and there was far more than mere professional labour to keep people occupied and entertained. But in this fast-paced world of hustle and isolation and long hours of professional labour and the general struggles and lack of social and communal support that force people apart, how can one stay sane after retirement with nothing to do, nowhere to go, nobody to talk or listen to? Anyone who is relatively healthy when they retire will likely want to continue doing some kind of work. Maybe they'll have enough resources to live their dreams, travel or write books or whatever. But in spite of that line of reasoning and the inevitable socio-cultural phenomena that have brought us to this are to my mind utterly depressing. This pandemic has really hit home for me that you can go on harvesting skills, but if you don't have a community to stand by you in tough times, your corporate skills won't save you in the way you require saving then.Owuamanam Eberechukwu wrote: ↑01 Jul 2022, 15:35 According to the author we have outlived the time of hoping and adopting the old retirement mentality.(Tradition)
For the author, retirement should be the beginning of a new career.(Reality)
Do you agree with the author?
Am still thinking about it
How about you?
