1.
Self-reliance - If you don't have the desire to be self-reliant, you have to give up autonomy.
The author says that self-reliance means 'living without relying on others' and 'living with one's own wisdom.'
It is emphasized that this kind of independence is established on the basis of a ‘spirit of autonomy.’
As we age, our lifestyles tend to change from those of our middle and middle ages.
Autonomy begins with recognizing this.
It is natural to accept aging and strive for age-appropriate health.
Therefore, it is appropriate to manage the amount of food you eat, the amount of sleep you get, and any illnesses you may have.
If you don't want to bother others, the best way is to create a lifestyle that suits you and stick to it.
If you don't have the desire to be independent in your old age, you will have to give up autonomy.

2.
Work - Even as we age, life demands goals.
The dreamy days of spending the rest of my life pursuing hobbies I've always wanted to do after retirement are long gone.
Now, the economic activity of the elderly has become a real problem.

Even as we grow older, life demands goals.
Because I can't live properly without it.
A person becomes an adult only when he has more to give.
It is said that the noble spirit that an elderly person should have is to find one's own mission and quietly carry it out while thinking about 'what can I do for others' rather than 'what help can I receive'.

In daily life, housework such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry are things that anyone can do, and they follow us until we die.
This speaks to the need to reorganize the attitude of not wanting to retire from the forefront of life.

3.
Relationships - The foundation of relationships is self-reliance, and they can only last when they are not tied to each other.
If a couple wants to maintain a harmonious relationship, they must know how to balance the level of willingness to do what they want and the level of willingness to compromise.
In short, adults need the wisdom to know how to make concessions and compromise within appropriate limits.
Anyone can easily become a good person in a relationship, even if it's just for one day.
The problem is that it is difficult to sustain this, which is why conflicts arise.

The author says that one of the most important legacies parents can give their children is a clean breakup.
When it comes time to finally teach your children and make them independent, it's never easy to quietly disappear from their presence as if nothing happened.
Everyone always wants to be thanked for what they have done, and if they have given something with their own hands, they want to be acknowledged by the other person.
But parental love is possible because it is selfless love.
In the relationship between parents and children, the foundation is independence.

4.
Money - If you don't have money, it's wise to abandon the duty of performing all the rites of passage for weddings, funerals, and other ceremonies.
The author says that money issues are a low-level issue in life.
In such cases, it is emphasized that it is necessary to create and follow simple and clear rules of one's own.

It is important to find a hobby that you can enjoy to the fullest and keep the 'scale' that confines you to it.
Therefore, it is said that if you do not have money, it is wise to give up traveling and going to the theater, and to abandon the obligation to perform ceremonial rites.
A life that suits one's innate talents is the happiest way for anyone.

5.
Loneliness - As we age, the number of people we can socialize with decreases.
The author says that it is natural for old age to be lonely.
That is why the work of old age is to endure solitude and find myself in it.

As you get older, the number of people you can hang out with tends to decrease.
Therefore, I recommend that you develop the habit of playing alone.
Sono Ayako herself says that she trains her mind to stay sharp by cooking her own meals every day and occasionally going on solo trips.

6.
Aging, illness, death - illness is part of being human, and life comes with both good and bad things.
There are two pillars to 'aging', which becomes ingrained in our bodies as habits as we age.
One is acting selfishly and the other is losing patience.
The characteristic of 'getting older', or you could call it sadness.
Although there may be differences from person to person, these two characteristics of aging are found in almost everyone who has reached old age.
If you want to intentionally defy aging and maintain a youthful appearance, you must guard against selfishness and cultivate patience.
Physically, if the body's minimum functions and five senses function normally, you are healthy.
Illness is a part of being human, and life is a mix of good and bad things.

7.
God - I don't know if there is an afterlife, but if I don't know, I'll bet on 'there is'
As we grow older, our bodies become less flexible, our beauty fades, and we lose our social standing, we come to understand old age and, in the process, grow up again.

However, it is not easy to see the human world from a human perspective alone.
When we find God's perspective, just as we climb higher to grasp the overall picture of the terrain, we can understand the psychologically complexities of old age more easily and warmly.
