Retirement from work has depressed many a man and hastened his death.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The pain of retirement means loss.
Retiring is getting ready to die.
Perhaps the saddest irony of depression is that suicide happens when the patient gets a little better and can again function sufficiently.
But if somebody dies, if something happens to you, there is a normal process of depression, it is part of being human, and some people view it as a learning experience etc.
To retire is to die.
The death of any man aged 56 is very sad for his widow and family. And no one would deny that Steve Jobs was a brilliant and highly innovative technician, with great business flair and marketing ability.
There are some who start their retirement long before they stop working.
To retire is to begin to die.
I just see too many people retire and say, 'I'm going to take off, travel, spend time with my family' and they are just miserable. They end up dying. People who work and stay active, and like what they are doing, live longer.
My father calls acting 'a state of permanent retirement with short spurts of work.'
