Goethe의 풍요로운 황혼

Goethe's rich twilight
( Health, money, work, friends, and dreams.)

Goethe, who was passionately in love even in his twilight years, has a famous quote about old age.

The life of an old man is a life of loss.

As we age, we lose five things: health, money, work, friends, and dreams.

Health, money, work, friends, and dreams.

If you don't die, your twilight years can be just as rich if you prepare for them by savoring Goethe's words.

First, health - If your body is not healthy, all the things in the world are meaningless.

Health is something you should cultivate while you are young.

It is common knowledge that health should be cultivated while young.

However, it is also a phrase that hits home only after the fact.

If so, you should take care of the health you have left now.

Second, money - If you consider yourself an old man, you should also know that now is not the time to make money, but to spend money.

spend money, not make money. It's sad to be an old man without money, but what can you do? You should be confident in front of money anyway.

Third thing - from what age did you become an old man. The period of being an old man is never short. Find what you really want to do and go for it.

Work brings joy not only to yourself, but also to those around you. It is love and work that will sustain you until you die.

Fourth Friend- The biggest enemies of old age are loneliness and isolation, so make sure you have lots of good friends to spend your old age with.

It takes time, attention, and sometimes money to make friends.

Fifth dream - The dream of the elderly is the hope for the afterlife. In order to keep them alive, they should have a religious practice or meditation.
