Quality life prolongs our living

I read an article which telyls us that quality life factor is very important for meaningful living into ripe old aged or for people suffering from terminal illness. What we do mean by quality life?

I think life style is the most important criteria of a quality life. The house we stayed in , the environment in the neighbourhood, the food we eat and the mentality of the people we are in association with.  But, different people react to the different life style.  If you put an uneducated person  in an intectual society or vice versa . he or she will stress out and die.

I could notice that when we get old, we want to move to a place full of sunshine and nature. Probably, a country side or a high rise condo , where we can see nature from afar.  Some people would want a single storey bungalow  or house in the country side where they can spend their  time with nature or near nature. Probably, this change in the mindset is the desire to wind down our active life  and eased into complete retirement  or into thw twilight age.

I have seen many friends or peers who have quiet down  and slip into oblivion.This is the most logical thing to do. Some friends would indulged in religion  or charity to repent  thier sins or wish for a peace passing or a better life if there is a next round.  This is the way , people will seek solace after spending years in stressful environment or unhealthy life style.

Life style is very indivdualistic and they is no one life style which can provide for everyone. So,it is up to us to change our mindset to fit the environment or make adjustment to the environment to fix us.  this kind of balancing is up to each individual.  A certain layback life style will become monotonous after a while and we will continue to adjust to ensure that we have a quality life that we want. 

Whatever life style we adopt for ourself, we have to manage it within our means. To do so, we need to simplify our needs to be contented.  The more simplify is our contentment, then the easier we can achieve the criteria of a quality life.  To simplify our contentment , we will need to learn to let go , learn to accept imperfections  and have to seek more wisdom from reading or from religious guidance.

In a congested neighbourhood, we can still find a quality of life we want if we pay attention to our needs and it all depends on us. Don't blame the envrionment , they are many things that we can do for ourselves.

Namaste.
