Question: Do you all really agree that life starts at 60s!?
here's just a little 'time line' in our life!.
1-12: u spend these years studying and studying!.!.and playing
12-18: more studying, maybe some working and falling in relationship!.
18-20+ : going out with your dates, plan for marriage
The rest of the life: working and working
until 60 most of us will retire, and do life really starts here!?
i mean until u're at 60, it's just studying and working!.Maybe sometimes in between them there's some memorable events!.

But if not, u had no freedom at all!. Living in the world when money is the first priority and we just work all day long to earn that!.
So do you guys really thinks that life starts at 60s!?

My 'time line' may be wrong!.!.I'll accept and comments from you guysWww@QuestionHome@Com

No!. What do u mean by life!? Time should be spent, or life should be lived, each moment to the fullest!. So life starts right at this moment, whenever u decide it to be!Www@QuestionHome@Com

People in some communities continue to learn, study, do research or work even in their 60s, 70s, etc to keep body and mind active!. They believe that a life of retirement without anything to do is the beginning of a spiral towards quicker demise!. Maybe some would take up more hobbies and go for more holidays in their silver years, and many do not mind light jobs to keep themselves active!. Life would be lived more fully that way and earning a little extra money is fun anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It seems that we go through our lives doing repetitive and mundane things!. It makes you wonder what is the purpose of all of this, which amoumts to alot of nothing, at times!. Life is about the journey!. I believe that that purpose is about loving and what you can do to improve anothers' life!. Everyone must feel a sense of purpose!. It probably is a test to see how we handle the trials and difficulties, as well!. The problems in life create a perspective and balance so we appreciate all the good!. So age is not really a factor!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I understand your theory but have two comments - firstly, I would say that it's up to each of us to try to live our lives in such a way that we enjoy every stage of it!. O!.K!. so we have to work and study, but if we're following the study path / career path that we've chosen, why should that be such a chore!? Secondly, if you can retire at 60 you're very lucky!! Personally I'm in for the long haul, I will be at least 65 before I retire!. So it's a good job I try to be true to my first comment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The thing is that whilst all that other stuff is happening, we're living life and experiencing things that we'll never get to experience again!.
In my opinion, the whole life begins at 60 was to try and look at the decline into old age optimistically!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

periods when you have to put others first and are not so free is definitely living too! Retirement just characterises the most meaningful period of great freedom to do as you please and that just makes it look that way!.

Life!. From the time the child takes birth the life starts!. As you say in the initial stages of life, he goes to school!. This is boy hood of life!. Later till college, he is studying - again adolescent stage of life!. Then he gets a job and wants to lead a family with wife etc!. Again it is a part of married life!. He gets children and leads a family life!. He earns a livelihood!. Where a person is not involved in life till the age of 60!. You have put the age of 60 when real life starts!. Then what do you want to call his period of stay in earth from the age of birth till the age of 60!? Is it not life according to you!? What do you want to categorize this period according to your choice!? Do you want to give some new name from childhood till the age of 60!?

By the way do you research such things facing the sky or facing the earth!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
