I have been thinking about retirement lately, not because I am in a position to retire, but because I have lived a life that could be considered at its nigh zenith. After all, doesn’t a genius only spend 10 years in the sun? (The Wind Rises)
Retirement has 2 major phases, where I work in schools to help guide the next generation, and/or I found a monastic base for me to live out my idyllic Taoist lifestyle. The reason for and/or is that it would be possible to work as a counsellor as well as establishing my own “sect”, especially with the prominence of work life balance in these times.
People don’t die of old age- it’s just that they can no longer maintain their inner harmony/vital functions.
