People have the sense of what is the right thing to do and what is not to do.
Usually they have themselves as the yardstick.
Like, be good to me, and I will be good to you.
Do on to other as you would like others to do on to you.
This sense sometimes get swept aside by some emotions.
It can be anger, it sometimes can be happiness. People affected by their emotions neglect to observe the most basic of social norms. i.e. not to disturb others, not to hurt others, being mindful of common property, being grateful.
Growing old means having gone through lots of time. And that translate into the number of times that this emotion/response characteristic is repeated. Which will determine if you will turn out to be a cranky old man, or a mild mannered gentleman. -
Is there a "formula" to ensure that people "become" a happy contented old person?
Young people, you might excuse them because they do not have the time to learn or find out... but how is it that some old people, give them so much time and they like never learn anything?
Did they stop learning somewhere along the line or were they not interested to learn at all...
Did they cling on to certain beliefs and stop learning?
Is keeping an open mind and learning (observe/reflect/mindfulness) the answer to becoming a happy and contented person?
What role do beliefs play? What role does intelligence play? What role does education play? What role do life experiences play? -
I am gonna be poor, friendless, perverted and like him.
