First of all,
because young people are usually more healthy than elder people, they could
have the more chances to enjoy their life. This gives them more broad extent of
choice to seek for happiness. In other words, if people are not healthy, they
scarcely enjoy their life completely. For example, my grandfather was the most
healthy person in his youth period and often enjoyed hiking mountains. Although
he spend a lot of time to enjoy his leisure time, he couldn’t go to the
mountains because that kind of activity need more energy than that of
grandfather. My grandfather always misses his past hiking to the Himalayas in
Nepal and encourages me to experience and enjoy anything that I could do and
want to do when I am healthy and energetic in youth. According to the survey
conducted by the KSC, Korean Statistical Center in South Korea, 90% of older
people whose ages are above 60, they really want to go back to their youth
period because their health is not good now and as a result they couldn’t enjoy
the life completely. As this survey indicates, young people are lucky to enjoy
their life best.
On top of that,
young people have fewer responsibilities than older people. As people age, it
burdens them to raise their children and maintain the job. These kind of
concerns could limit their behavior, and accordingly, could have bad impact on
their enjoying the life freely. Whereas, young people who has no responsibility
could endeavor to enjoy their life fully as they want. For example, my older
brother who married 5 years ago and has 2 children could not let the one week
off at all. Of course, he enjoyed his life freely when his age is 23. However,
because he has many responsibilities as father, husband, and businessman
dealing with many problems related to his babies and work, he couldn’t rest
well. Whereas, I have no responsibilities that I have to do. So whenever I want
to trip, I could pack my luggage and could go to anywhere without feeling of
guilty. Last summer vacation, I went Europe alone for two months. I had many
cuisines and took a picture in front of famous places, and met many diverse
people with different background cultures in Italy, France, and England. From
this experience, I could relieve my stress from the heavy load of school work
and could rest well. Also, I could raise my horizon and broaden my perspectives.
When I called to my brother in Europe, he envied my so much. If I were
businessman life him, I couldn’t have had such a free trip to Europe. |
