Retired People Can Lead a Meaningful Life

I agree with you.Most retired people enjoy their retired life happily.After my grandma retired from her job,she paid her attention on cuisine.Cooking for us and cooking in different ways are her interests.And my grandma's retired life is about gardening.He himself planted flowers in our balcony and takes care of his "babies" everyday.It seems that both my grandparents enjoy their retired life.

In fact I think being retire is a new life. At present we have to work hard, and also look after our family. Then the time to leave for you is very little. You have to squeeze the time to do what you want, but it's not very easy. However, when you are retired, your children already grow up and you don't need to spend more time for them. You don't have to work, too. Then you can have lots of time to expand your interests. You can play or study. Nobody will care what you do. When I was retired, my life would be fantastic:)

Yes they do because they have none other work to do then to rest and enjoy their life. They have no job to do even.

my parents have been retired for several years and i think they lead a happy and meaningful life. my father writes books and has got some of them published. my mother likes cooking and is interested in nutrition. she will tell me what kind of food is good for health whenever i go to see her. she listens to radio while doing housework so she knows what is happening in the country even in the world. she likes to discuss those happenings with me and my son.

I know some retired persons, some of them go to all kinds of classes to learn how to draw, to learn photography, to learn dancing, etc, some of them like whiff, it's good, too, some of them go back to the factories to do the jobs they like so much. All in a word, they are a group of happy persons:)

I agree with you that retired people undergoes a lot of stress and tension. Some might go into deep depression. Others have pre-plan their retirement ahead so that they will have something to do and lead a meaningful life. But for those who cannot seem to find anything useful to do after retirement, it can cause them a huge problems both in finance and personal life. I think the best that can be done by these retired men are to get involve in spiritual movement, to do gardening (if they are healthy), to travel around the world (if money is no object) or look for jobs that suit their age and experiences/start a business.
