Lesson 11-1 How to grow old

Some old people are oppressed by the fear of death. In the young there is a justification for this feeling. Young men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer. But in an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do, the fear of death is somewhat abject and ignoble. The best way to overcome it -- so at least it seems to me -- is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life.

练习感悟：

今天有些累 但是朗读成果还是隐隐体现出持续行动带来的改变的

这篇的内容结合心理学一起看也很有意义，如何快乐的老去，就是让自己过得有意义，说得不好听些就是死得其所。如果你明天就会死去但是毫无遗憾，那样的人生就足够了。另外，和年轻人相比，老年人更会情绪平稳，所以情绪稳定这件事是一辈子的事吗，我们用一辈子让自己和生活妥协，最终迎来了情绪的平静吗……不知道但是情绪稳定下来真的是很好的事情啊……
