Old Age Starts in Your Fifties
Assuming you manage to live that long, the focus of old age should involve spiritually turning away from the world and shifting your thinking and attention to death, salvation, and life in the next world, more precisely, Heaven. All of that involves reflecting upon and contemplating spiritual learning in mortal life.
I suppose that raises the question of when old age begins.
Well, in my estimation, old age starts somewhere in the fifties. Yes, fifties. I'll be 53 in about two weeks, and I consider that to be early old age.
It matters little if you make it to a hundred; the truth is you start getting old somewhere in your early fifties, implying that you should act and think accordingly at around that time.
Old in your fifties? A half-century of contemplating death and the next world? But I can still play tennis! I just got a promotion. My sex life is spectacular — no Viagra needed. I'm still expanding my business. I’m planning a world tour after I retire. Blah, blah, blah.
Fine. Dismiss it, but don’t be surprised by what you get in return.
