▶ Your Answer :
It has been suggested that the life of young people is more enjoyable than that of old people. Although it is partly true that the life of old people seems to be more secure and diverse from different sources because they have more money and people sharing lives around them, I believe that it is hard to say that old people have a more energentic and exciting life than young peple. In this essay, I will present briefly two reasons supporting my idea.
Most of all, it is difficult to say that old people's life is more enjoyable than young people's one in that the life of young people is more energetic because most of them have full of power and in a good shape in life. Specifically, while fifties and sixties are a period during which people normally spend busy time seeing a doctor regularly, twenties and thirties are a period during which most, if not all, people are going outside enthusiastically and likely to do eagerly whatever they want to do. Many of those in early age can live their life more actively on the foundation of physical robustness as well as have more enjoyable time to pursue their hobbies such as wind surfing and mountain hiking. In addtition, constrasted with old people, who are frequently worried about their death in the future, yound people can live a much more phsically secure life without any kind of being sick. In this regard, yound people can also live an enjoyable life in some aspects.
Moreover, young people live more enjoyable life than old people because they enjoy the pleasure itself without thinking seriously where it comes from. To illustrate, yound people in a sports game can be pleased with their friends' touch and encouragement, and young one can be delighted with their dancing friends' gesture and smiling, not considering the degree of pleasure and condition on pleasure. In fact, enjoying life is mainly part of young peoples' daily life. Besides, they strive to enjoy their life more and more than ever before. All these are the enjoyment in life that people can have only when they are young.
In summary, I agree with the suggestion that young people live a more enjoyable life than old people on account of the reasons that I mentioned above: Not only do young people usually live a more energetic life without worries about health and death in the future that old people normally have, but they also enjoy the pleasure itself on a daily basis whereas old people think seriously the source of pleasure. |
