when a person becomes older, what becomes the important thing to do?

Question

personal, impersonal, options could be mind boggling.

Answer 1

Your question is a bit confusing. I'm assuming that you want to know what is important to people as they grow older.

Your "health" is a huge factor. If you don't take care of yourself and have your "health", nothing else is going to matter much.

I think "family" is right up there. Most of us have lost someone we loved (parents, aunts/uncles, etc.) as we get older. We realize that time is much more of a factor than it used to be. I think it's also important to nourish our friendships.

Finances matter a great deal. Money isn't an "issue" until you don't have it. People who are looking at retirement need to make sure that they can maintain the lifestyle they would like to have.

It's important to keep busy and feel that you are "contributing" as you age.

I'm sure everyone will have their own ideas about what's "important" so there will probably be as many different ideas as there as people.

These are just a few of mine, hope it answers your question.

Answer 2

The most important thing for most people to do is find new ways of complaining about life.

It works against them, but this is what most people focus their energies on.

Answer 3

How old are we talking ? Older people that I know always care about loved ones , each other if they are married , their health .
Their community , their religion , their time left on earth .
