Retirement is not resignation from life, but an opportunity to live a life full, dynamic life. It not a time to sit and wait for distiny to show you the door, but to do something that would make things better. And in doing so you also enrich your own life.
Purpose is the engine that powers and drives life. Without purpose, you would get bored and depressed.
As a student, you wanted to become a professional. During employment you were to busy in earning money and accomplishing carrer. As a parent you were busy raising family & providing for your childs education. Perhaps you did not have time or even the aptitude to understand questions like 'who you were', What the real purpose of your life was. Retirement is the time to ponder over all these question.
All your working life you have taken so much. You have exploited natural resources and degraded the environment to make life more comfortable. May be you harmed......
