After chatting and farting with friends on May Day, and lamenting that life is not easy now, we talked about a topic, and when we are old, do we want to stay away from the hustle and bustle and live in seclusion in the mountains? This is indeed an interesting proposition, you might as well use it as a pastime, and think about some words to answer.
To be honest, it is not easy to predict the state of mind in a few decades now, just as teenagers in the rebellious period of adolescence often do not want children, but only yearn for an unrestrained life, but under the pressure of society fifteen years later, they change their minds, enter the "cage" of marriage, and shoulder the burden of raising them.
For the time being, I'm going to speculate about my future self with my current mind. In my twilight years, I think I would still like to live in the city. If you have been wrapped in steel and cement for a long time, if you have the opportunity to return to nature and feel the refreshing breeze on your face, you may even be moved. However, not to mention the deep mountains and old forests, even if I live in a campsite or village for a month or two, I am afraid that it will be unbearable for me, and my physical condition will deteriorate.
In fact, the older you get, the more you are likely to be socially active because you have nothing to do, and the more you need convenient and reliable medical care. In my opinion, there are three things that fear older people more than death, illness and loneliness. And in the deep mountains, these three fears may be concentrated and manifested, isn't this contrary to human nature?
In the deep mountains and old forests, maybe only chickens and dogs are accompanied, and you can't find someone to chat, and the content in the social terminal must have been completely out of touch with me at that time; if there is a headache and brain fever, and you accidentally fall, you can't call it every day, and the earth is not spiritual, maybe the next time someone comes to send supplies, I have already been born with a full moon.
There is an old saying that "it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift". Compared to the mountains, city life is undoubtedly "luxury". If you have been living in the mountains, without material pleasures, red dust, and concept baptism, you may not feel any discomfort in the countryside. But if you are stationed in the mountains for decades under the abundance of materials and constant information refresh, and then go to seclusion in the mountains, it is inevitably a bit idealistic.
It's better to go to bed early, if you have been staying up late and having an abnormal schedule, I am afraid that I will not even be able to retire, then there is no need to consider the problem of how to provide for the elderly.
