How Active Adults Avoid Selfishness

By Shawna Trujillo


The secret lives of active adults do not necessarily relate to sexual peccadilloes even though the word 'adult' is often used in such contexts. In America the phrase can refer to real estate complexes that are called 'retirement villages' in other parts of the world. Activities in such places probably do not warrant coverage on world news channels but for people living there they may be all important, though private.

An online search reveals that there are thousands of active adults complexes dotted throughout the United States of America. Retirees living in other parts of the world also join the trend of moving into secure complexes where they can associate with people of similar ages. Frequently they are known as retirement villages.

People approaching retirement commonly have quite large pay outs to spend but ambitions might have been achieved or abandoned. The focus of life might have changed in many cases because children have become independent and work demands declined.

As physical powers decline security tends to become an issue, especially in societies where criminals roam about preying upon other people. Like animal predators they are without conscience and they scan their surroundings for weak and vulnerable victims. Houses filled with the valuable possessions of a single person are also of interest to blackguards. The opportunity to move into a secure complex where security arrangements can be shared by residents in similar circumstances is appreciated by many people contemplating retirement.

Doctors examining patients older than sixty often resort to the phrase 'wear and tear' to explain why wrists, hips and other joints have become painful. Such complaints are often the result of vigorous activity in earlier years when young people strut the world, convinced they can become Olympians. The dreams might fade during middle age but, ironically, in later years people often become as preoccupied with their bodies as they were when they were eighteen or younger.

Some people over sixty still think of themselves as eighteen. In the winter of their lives they forget that Adonis was banned in that season and set out to join with younger people in vigorous games and activities. These may become pathetic experiences as the truth gradually dawns that their bodies have become figures of fun and poorly disguised jokes.

Between them, stiffness and derision can discourage a person from taking any physical exercise at all and he might decide that it is better to sit in dignified fashion before the TV set staring at what can best be described as idiocy. This is a fatal response, both literally and figuratively. Body and mind alike will sink towards the abyss where dementia and death lurk. Whatever the difficulties a person must keep body and mind active for as long as possible.

Active adults complexes provide facilities for appropriate physical exercise. In swimming pools, gyms and circuits one can beef up heart rates and set the circulation going. Perhaps more importantly one can keep the mind going by interacting with like minded people in ways that stimulate mental activities. In fact, without the annoyance of condescension or indifference one can generate many pleasures that far exceed those experience in one's callow years.
