This time I'm writing an article on the topic of human psychology.

Leaving to stay

A mature person can think of his impending old age and fear it. But those who are now about 40, this feeling is particularly aggravated.

In recent years, more and more people say they are afraid of old age. This is due to the fact that the social situation is becoming less predictable. Because of this, people are less confident that they will have time and can be realized. Actually gerontophobia - this is the fear of lack of implementation. Not afraid to die when you have lived a rich, interesting life, and did everything he wanted.

The feeling of fear among women is manifested in the obsession with anti-aging treatments, diets, fitness. Men of working age, on the contrary, are beginning to get involved in extreme sports. They seem to defy death, it is also fear.

The fact that a person has entered the age of the crisis, evidenced by, for example, cases where the 50-year-old man marries a young girl. This is not to say the spirit of his youth, as some think. He's just all the forces clinging to youth.

People who can afford everything, and those who are barely making ends meet, are equally susceptible to the fear of old age, and it appears they have the same. Wealthy bourgeoisie does not calm the understanding that it is for their money will be able to buy a decent youth or old age. Old age - is the last step before his death. No matter how much he may be yachts and cars, he still realizes that "there" should not carry away. In this his fears are the same as in the last beggar.

In old age, people are afraid of loneliness and isolation. From feelings of isolation does not save even the fact that people can remain fit and active, surrounded by loved ones. The fact that people are aware of their old age, immersed in the awareness of his own life, summing up. He still does not have enough understanding of others, it seems to him that he is now on the sidelines of life. Those who are younger, have gone forward, and he stayed. In the conflict of generations old men always lose, because they die earlier. The meaning of old age is that people realize that he had to leave, while others remain.

Overcome the fear of old age can only be passing and realizing it through finding him. Do not run, and learn to live in harmony with themselves, their own physiology and age.
