< Old age begins as soon as curiosity disappears>

< Old age begins as soon as curiosity disappears>

It's the words of Simone de Beaufort.

The meaning of 'old age begins' may have a negative meaning that a meaningless life begins.

However, even though you are old, you can live a worthwhile life if you can be interested in and curious about world affairs.

A meaningful life is not grandiose.
A socially contributing life is important, but wouldn't it be meaningful to do my job, look at the stars in the night sky and admire them, listen to their loved ones' stories, and see flowers blooming blue in a warm sunny place even in winter?

You need to find an object that you can focus on with interest by spending your time in the boredom of everyday life that repeats like a squirrel wheel every day.

The targets are too many, including exercise, meeting friends, traveling nearby, calligraphy, drawing, reading books, writing, playing musical instruments, gardening, making cookies, learning to cook, and learning to make newspapers (AI, metaverse, ChatGPT).

"Life without interest and meaning" can never be happy. Let's start with something easy.
