For many retirement time is the time to buy a new recliner and simply wait to die or begin pursuing totally self indulgent activities that still do not fill the emptiness. It is imperative to realize that our world is always Changing, whether anyone likes it or not. The fact is, this is a dynamic world of change and evolution as it always has been and will always be. The trap many set for themselves is forgetting that true life is an adventure and all about experiencing. When we choose to be in the illusion of a comfort zone, where nothing ever changes all the dynamics become static and the numbing death scenario begins.
Human nature conforms to evolution and change irregardless.
Knowledge increases, changes occur and adaptations are made. All these are irrefutable laws of the universe. The historically slow evolution of the way the world has always been has long encouraged complacency and certain comforts, like it or not within our lifetime all activity has accelerated exponentially. With the twentieth century the global shift is rapidly changing to that of information and developing the technology to diminish manual labor. With the development and expansion of modern communications we are also all becoming of one planetary consciousness.
