This article really resonated with me, especially the idea of the "never-ending staircase." It's so true that as humans, we're wired to keep seeking and striving. The thought of a passive retirement, just "stopping," doesn't appeal to me at all. I think true fulfillment comes from continuous engagement and using your mind, even in retirement, just perhaps in different ways.
I believe "retirement" is not about endless days of passive entertainment like television or beach lounging, but rather about gaining the autonomy to engage in work that truly resonates with you.
While the appeal of pure leisure is initially strong, I recognize that my mental and emotional health thrives on meaningful contribution. My ideal retirement involves continuing to contribute to society, perhaps by writing or developing software projects driven by my own interests.
