A few days before my school friends have asked me to write something on our age group who are 70 plus. I responded to the message," 10 years young with 60 years of golden experiences. " This involves two TRUTH of human life . The first is we have grown so much to speed up our biological decline after crossing the Plateau Era of our our life span. However, looking at awareness towards health care and advancements in medical science now the average age is 75 plus. The population statistics indicates another TRUTH that by 2030 the proportion of newly born and 75 plus will be equal.This fact is increasing the concerns of scientists and policy makers to research and plan for rehabilitation of this 75 plus age group. Gerontology is the branch of knowledge which is dedicated for welfare for Olds.
Now I will talk about another TRUTH. Viewing the change in family pattern, that is , from joint to nuclear to nanoneuclear families, every aging person shall plan for his/her 75plus age period. We are living in the society where we are forced to retire by age 60 to 65 years leaving us with drastic decrease in our income and increase in dependence on our children,may cause anxiety about our comfortable survival, specially looking the changed trend of family pattern. However, if we accept this TRUTH then we can plan our comfortable independent survival with our golden experiences of passed period. Let it shall help us to prove the base of our independence in this Era of lifespan. There is a quote ," TRUTH is like a drop of oil in water...No matter how much of water we add it will always float on the top." I will throw more light on this in my next post.
Meanwhile ,my dear friends of 70 plus, TRAIN YOUR MIND to remain in positive orientation of accepting the TRUTH about your aging Era and planning well in advance to cope with socio- economic demands to survive in an elegant manner.
Enjoy days always ahead in true socio-economic independence during your 70 plus age.
