Even the majority of elders turn their homes
into hives of worry as they have too little to
do in too much time. Those who have retired
thus find retirement tiresome when hobbies,
instead, could have turned it into a period of
creativity and contentment.
This common problem of inability to utilise
leisure pleasurably and profitably is not
restricted to Indians. In fact, Japanese are
the worse sufferers. Their weekends, rather
than increase their enjoyment of life, have
wreaked havoc on their health and
happiness. Unable to while away the long,
unstructured hours, many of them have
become addicts to coffee or hard liquor, and
have even taken to gambling.\
How has this social malady come about?
Ironically, the syllabus-loaded education
system is the main culprit. It places a heavy
work-load on children and youth, laying
emphasis as it does on memory rather than
intelligence.
Why do a majority of retired elders find
retirement tiresome?
A. Because their homes have been turned
into hives of worry.
B. Because they do not have hobbies to
utilise their free time.
C. Because they had nothing to do.
D. Because they had plenty of free time.
