I remember you today because you said that 50% of the people who retire, die within the first year after retirement.
I was thinking here in what I call the potted plant problem. That brought back that what you told me, above.
It works like that my idea about the potted plant syndrome:
(Perhaps echoes of Huxley 'Brave New World')
If you are not challenged in a minute by minute basis your brain and your whole body slows down and you will tend to the potted plant side.
If you keep the challenges coming and deal away with them, you will veer away from the plotted plant problem.
Society creates potted plants as people get rich and entertain themselves and "have a life" as it is commonly said.
Companies create pottet plants as they create routines, rules and check points.
The school prepares people for potted plant type of life
So no wonder you have more potted plants than real people
Now if you work like you do, your pendulum is is swung in the 9 o'oclok postion full anti- potted plant.
If someone is unemployed, seat at home, do nothing its pendulum is at three o'clock fully in the potted plant position.
Now if someome's pendulum is suddenly swung from one end to another, say form the 9 o'clock postion to the 3 o'clock postion, his brain and body is shocked and the guy dies.
I stop 7:40Pm most nights to watch NCIS, and slow down, my pednulum comes down to six o'clock position, I go eat, return and for almost two hours tnhe pendulm in point straight down.
Sice my awake day is about 16 to 17 hours, I have more than 10% of the time in iddle with pendulum pointing down, on 6 o'clock position. |
