Cultivate the most interesting and practical psychology every day
People all hope that they can live a long and healthy life, and now technology and medical treatment are constantly improving, and the average life expectancy in China has increased a lot more than in the past. From ancient times to the present, how to prolong life has always been a concern of people.
For modern people, people prefer to improve their quality of life. So how long is the life expectancy of people in modern society? Accurate answers can be obtained from a psychological point of view.
Aging is an inevitability, and no one can escape it
As people get older little by little, the functions of the body are not as good as before, and the trend of aging is gradually showing.
Life is fair to everyone, from the infancy of birth to the aging of old age, no matter what status people are, they will eventually grow old. Even if there is a huge gap between rich and poor between people, or a huge disparity in status.
Everyone is equal in the face of aging, and no one is exempt from aging.
If people live a little more optimistically and see through life and death, then everything in the world is nothing. Because people have to grow old, they will eventually turn into a bunch of yellow soil, and the wealth they have before they die cannot be taken away.
In addition to the aging of the body, people have some old age, and there are many diseases that follow.
Many elderly people do not have any serious diseases, but their physical function declines, immunity is reduced, and many diseases will be infected.
If a person does not have a major illness in old age and spends the last stage of life safely, such a life can be considered happy and complete. The old people who can die in their sleep without suffering from illness and suffering from long-term illness are called joy and mourning.
Many elderly people endure long-term illness and torture in their later years, and finally lose their dignity in the late stages, which is particularly cruel in this way of dying.
The elderly most hope to be able to not be tortured by illness and die with dignity. If you can rejoice and mourn, you will be considered by people to have done a lot of good deeds before you die, and you will have good rewards, and a dignified death will not drag down your children.
See through life and death
Aging is inevitable for everyone, and so is life and death. From the day people are born into the world, they begin to walk step by step to the end of their lives, but everyone takes a different journey.
Psychologists believe that if a person can see through life and death and has no fear of death, it is most appropriate to leave at this time.
If death can be correctly understood in the process of people's education, people can accept death more calmly.
Because death is not as terrible as people think, but people still have many worries and regrets in their hearts when they leave. Some people are muddy every day while they are alive, with no goals and no pursuits.
When he was about to die, he repented that he had wasted a lot of time, and there were many things he had left before he could do it.
Only by actively working hard to live every day well, not wasting precious lives, and people who know how to think about life can live a more exciting life.
If there is no goal and no pursuit, then such a life will be meaningless, even if you can live a hundred years old, it is a cookie-cutter day every day, and you will feel bored.
Live with dignity
The body organs and indicators of the elderly are constantly declining, and they will even suffer from serious diseases. Under the torment of aging and illness, the quality of life of the elderly is also declining.
The happiness of old age is also very low, the financial pressure on family members and children has also increased, and they also have to take turns to take care of the elderly. Take the following example.
Li Jiangang's grandfather is almost seventy years old this year, and his mental state was very good before, and he was willing to go out for a walk and exercise every day. Since the age of 65, the family has found that the old man can't remember things, and sometimes he can't remember things with hard work.
The family took the old man to the hospital for treatment, and the doctor diagnosed the old man with Alzheimer's disease. After getting this disease, you will forget more and more, and in the later stage, you will not even know your family.
Many elderly people are like this old man, and the quality of life after illness is much worse than before. Family members also have to spend energy to take care of them, and their children's lives will also be affected.
The huge cost of treatment also brings a lot of financial pressure to the family, especially in some families that have been ill for many years, and it is often the case that a person is sick and drags down the family.
At this point, it doesn't make much sense to consider how old you will live. Because many people want to be able to live with dignity, a situation like this is something that the elderly don't want to see.
In fact, how old people live is not the most important, people should be comfortable and comfortable when they first live, and they are not afraid of life and death.
After looking at everything, what kind of life you want, how you want to live, and live the life in front of you is the most important.
Life is worthy of respect, and it is still necessary to have a positive mindset after illness, and it is also important to ensure health. Don't be afraid of death, life, old age, illness and death are things that people have to experience, how to live more comfortable is what they should pay attention to.
