Aging can have many consequences. The most common consequences are having no money, treatment from children, failing of health, loss of friends, having too much time, feeling lonely and losing yourself.
The first are not enough money. When we age, can you imagine we have no money especially to pay our medical bills? Why is it we do not have enough money? We may not have good money habits. We may be cheated by other people. Our investment in businesses may have failed. These are some causes of why we have not enough money.
No money meant life can be very difficult. Imagine no money to buy food. Imagine no money to buy train tickets and have to take bus instead. Imagine no money to get a bigger house and have to share room with a stranger. Imagine no money to go on holidays and trips.
The second most common fear of aging is treatment from our children. Our children may leave us in old folks' home and stop visiting us. Our children may cheat us of our money and leave us in the streets. Our children may abuse us verbally and physically, leaving us wounded in body and spirit.
Third cause of aging fear is the shortcoming of our health. The long-term unhealthy diet and our genes may result in the following. We may be stricken by cancers, crippling strokes, loss of hearing, loss of sight and loss of our motor skills.
The fourth most common fear of aging is the losing of our friends. We laugh and enjoy good memories with our friends. The missing of our friends reminds us of how vulnerable we can be. The losing of our friends gives us the hint that our lives are not as carefree as before. The losing of our friends will sadden and make us feel uneasy about what the next moment of life can bring.
Having too much time is the fifth cause of aging fears. We no longer have work and family commitments. We are no longer needed in many areas. There are many things we no longer need to do. We may not know what to do with the time in our hands. The time that we have will remind us painfully how others no longer need us. This will bring a painful feeling of uselessness. We will think of negative thoughts. We may even choose to commit suicide.
Feeling lonely is the sixth cause of aging fear. Our free time is happily spent with our loved ones when we are younger. They may no longer be in this world as we become older. As our loved ones leave us, we will need to fill a big 'void' that is in their place. We do not fill the big 'void' in a positive and meaningful way, our emotions will slowly shut down with our body functions.
Losing one self is the seventh cause of aging fears. We may contracted dementia. We may lose our mental functions. As a result, we will forget everything and everyone. The people around us, especially our loved ones, will suffer. We will become a stranger to them. Our loved ones will have to struggle to know us again. The process of knowing someone that they thought they know, will be very painful. - 15437
