3 ways (NOT) to be a post-retirement sluggard
Escape reality Since you don't have much things to expend your post-retirement energy surge on and the environment you live in is such a dull place, why not live in the virtual world? You can have utopia. You can build a character that you wished you were but are not. You can build an empire and a reputation, unrivalled by "anons" in the space. It feels damn good. You give yourself a pat on the back - virtually. Perhaps it does not matter that the REAL environment which you live, eat and shit in remains a dull and somewhat unpleasant place... Or you felt it was not worth your time to go change it. There are always more and better satisfactions in conquering utopias, and chasing things that don't matter - in real life. How NOT to be a sluggard #1: Don't escape or bury your head in the sand like an ostrich. Use your finite resources, eg. time & energy, to make positive real changes around your real life . "Be the change you want to see in the world."
