________________
it is accidental short term retirement. One should plan for both these types of retirements.
You should inculcate a liking for things that you desire to do during your retirement, from your young age itself. Our problem is that we have not cultivated a liking for those activities which will make our retirement meaningful and the interests that we have kindled during our active younger life cannot be pursued during our retired life due to lack of energy or opportunities. Due to these factors our retired life becomes extremely boring and dependent, resulting in a dissatisfied mental state.
After laboring hard continuously for four decades, if a person cannot have his own house, what is the result of these efforts ? There is no fun in staying in a rented apartment for a long time. It is not good for your status and there is definitely no security. Just one notice from the landlord and you will face sleepless nights. External activity and running after materialistic pleasures is like living in a rented house. Where will you stay when you will have to vacate this rented house due to sequential or accidental retirement ?
The kings and emperors of the past used to stay in palaces, but they used to maintain an additional underground house near the palace, accessible through underground tunnels. During sudden unexpected enemy attacks, they could retreat to this house and remain secure. And yes ! What is important is that this underground house was constructed along with the construction of the palace. It was not possible to construct such a house after the attack.
