early psychological retirement
In the winter of 2018. While I was walking around the Japanese capital, Tokyo, I noticed the great activity of the elderly, and I was astonished by the women who exceeded the age of eighty, and crossed the traffic lights in a large group, heading to a cafe, to sit and discuss
When I visited the ancient capital of Kyoto, I was amazed at those elderly workers in various locations, not only in the tourism and hotel fields, but even in factories and hard-working workshops.
A few days after the visit, I realized that the Japanese approach to the idea of aging is not the same as dealing with the Arab world. Many of those I know notice the phenomenon of “early psychological retirement.” Responsibility, cutting off the path of action and giving, under a fixed argument: there is no longer a lifetime to do so.
“Psychological retirees” try to hide from any religious knowledge, as a justification for the voluntary decision of helplessness and laziness. And it is something that contradicts the true religion, which calls on man to give until the last moment, and to work for his life as if he lived forever, and even to continue working even if scenes began before him on the Day of Resurrection, and if he had a seed with him, let him plant it.
In Japan there are half a million centenarians, all over a hundred years old, and a large number of them continue their agenda, as if planning for many years to come. In my estimation, this is one of the most important manifestations of Japanese strength: there is no despair with life and no life with despair. What is exciting in this context is the development of aging research, and biologists and biotechnology scientists have come a serious distance in the path of attempts to slow down aging, and pushed it for another half century in human life.
The main hypothesis of a number of scientists in this proposition is that aging is not inevitable, and that it is just a disease like many diseases, and it can be treated as a disease, which pushes a person after treatment to spend other decades of life.
Aging – according to this proposition – is not a phenomenon resulting from the diseases of old age, but rather it is the disease that causes these diseases, and if it is possible to treat that disease, we will have treated these diseases. And if some individuals who have exceeded the ninety-nine years live in good biological and mental health, this indicates that the matter is not inevitable, and that it can be worked on to be a prevalent pattern in contemporary life. And in a book that was published entitled “The Cycle of Life.. Why do we age?” Why do we not have to?”
Renowned geneticist David Sinclair explains that thesis and its scientific arguments. The best thing to say about this is that while scientists are looking at combating aging and extending human life to between 150 and 200 years, some people, on the other hand, have taken a break from early psychological retirement and voluntary termination of life.
