退休的最美妙之处，是对于时间的新的感觉和理解，因此而产生了对生活的新的感觉和理解。你成了时间的富翁，体验一种从未有过的富裕。
观看快进的世界
我退休后的一件乐事，是坐在海边的观景长椅上，欣赏海景和陆景。看海潮由远而至，冲浪者的彩色身影在白浪中翻腾；看沙滩上男女老幼忙忙碌碌，筑沙堡，翻筋斗，日光浴；看斑斓的遮阳伞如花一般开了又闭，
闭了又开；看一个个家庭，一对对情侣来了又去，去了又来 . . .。自然的节律依然紧凑，生活的脚步依然匆匆，我却可以那样气定神闲地坐着，没有事打搅，没有人相催，任时间慢慢流走，毫不在意。我突然感觉到，
自己像是手握一只录像播放机的遥控器，用快进模式观看眼前的世界，我和图像中的人和物存在于不同的时空维度之中。我获得了一种权利，可以用这样的方式和心情来观看那个自己从中走出来的纷忙的世界。
要停止这快进模式，只需要简单地走进这图像，你会有一种从容的心态参加到真实的生活中，这时候你会发现很多以往没有注意到的东西。
品尝细节的滋味
自从辞别了那部谋生活的永动机，各种各样的时间限制被解除了，我可以尽兴做我想做的任何一件事，读书，写字，练琴，静坐，遐想，DIY，或者什么也不做，一切都慢慢地进行，直到那兴趣减弱或消失。在计算机上，
同时打开的十几个，甚至几十个视窗，无非是为一个概念，一个问题或想法去追寻结果，这是一辈子都想吃的禁果，因为有限的时间从不得尝。金钱的富翁，说到底不过是用钱在世界上挖掘各种感受而已。
时间的富翁在另一个层次可做同样的事情，因为有更多的时间可供消费，便能够在生活中，思考中发现更多的细节来琢磨和享受。当然，这种阿Q似的“殊途同归”并不适用于每个人。
一趟太极拳打下来，觉得那“玉女穿梭”有点不到位，那就再来一次，又是30分钟，直到满意，伴着鸟鸣草香，走出练功的场地。一旦和人交谈，便有点喋喋不休。不是我溅，是置身于自由流淌的时间中有点刹不住车。
我知道对方在暗骂“老不死的闲”，我却愉快地暗自回应“不，那是有了自由的老不死。”
时间稀释了欲望
从心理学的观点来看，欲望的强度和拥有时间的宽度成反比，这和痛苦的强度相似。
欲望的来源，大都是要在有限的时间中去获得想要的东西（物质，精神）。当时间的限制被取消或可用的时间被极大地延长，获得那些东西的欲望就会减弱，或转移他处。
这时候，对金钱和财富仍然在意，但很明显地是从攻势变成了守势，其目的不过是为维持自己的那点生活资源。那些带刺的精神企图，像虚荣，名声，渐渐变成了一种温润的愿望：为精神寻找一个可停靠的港湾，那可能是个信仰之港，
通悟之港，虚无之港，或任何一个未知港。
世界上总是荡漾着“让生活慢下来”呼声，但是，你又见到过多少人的生活真的慢了下来？除了“慢下来”的鼓吹者借此更快地赚取了金钱和流量之外，在更多的地方，我们看到的是更加激烈的生存竞争，是更加浩荡的物欲冲击，
生活的陀螺旋转得比以往更快。只有在欲望被稀释了的这个角落，我们才能看到和感到，生活慢下来到底是什么样子。
时间终止，世界消失
随着生理年龄的增加，时间在这个躯壳里行进得越来越慢。人在进入临终的时刻都会感到时间明显慢下来，慢到了它的极限，突然间，生命以极速在宇宙中划过，于是，时间停止，世界消失，宇宙不存在了。是的，
这是唯心主义的陈词滥调，此时我却对它越来越感亲切。
无数唯心主义大师的理论和思考不是没有价值的，只不过我们不具有那样的智力条件和思辨环境。哲学的归类并不重要，因为哲学的真正目的，不过就是推动人们认真地感觉和思考这个世界，并不是要在你的头上装个铁笼子。
说实话，我们这些芸芸众生，除了利益之外，很难谈得上信奉什么主义，充其量是个功利主义者。但是由生活和岁月酿造出来的真实感觉，还是相当地感人和迷人，到这个阶段，人也会慢慢地去认真相信一些东西。
这时候你会觉得，返老还童的梦想是多么的可笑和不道德，难道那不是一种偷窃的欲望，觊觎着已经不属于自己的，像青春， 美貌，与自己真实的躯体不相符的活力。
时间的富翁也是脆弱的，世界上“闲死”的大有人在，但那并不是时间的过错，就像金钱的富翁杰弗里•爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）“富死”一样，能怪金钱吗？

The most beautiful thing about retirement
The most beautiful thing about retirement is the new feeling and understanding of time, which gives rise to a new feeling and understanding of life. You become the rich of
time and experience a kind of wealth that you have never had before.
Watch the fast-forward world
One of my pleasures after retirement is to sit on the viewing bench by the sea and enjoy the sea and land views. Watching the sea tide coming from far away, the colorful
silhouettes of surfers tumbling in the white waves; watching the men and women on the beach busy building sand castles, somersaults, and sunbathing; watching the colorful
umbrellas opened and closed, closed and opened, like flowers; watching the families, pairs of lovers come and go, go and come ... The rhythm of nature is still tight, and
the pace of life is still in a hurry, but I can sit calmly here, without interruption, no one to urge, let the time flow slowly, without caring. I suddenly felt that I was
likely holding a remote control of a video player, watching the world in front of me in fast forward mode. I and the people and objects in the image exist in different space-time
dimensions. I have gained a right to watch the busy world that I walked out of in this way and mood.
To stop this fast-forward mode, you only need to simply walk into this image. You will have a calm attitude to participate in real life. At this time, you will find a lot of
things that you haven't noticed before.
Taste the details of life
Since I said goodbye to the perpetual machine for life, various time restrictions have been lifted. I can do anything I want, reading, writing, practicing music instrument,
sitting, reverie, DIY, or do nothing. Everything is going slowly until my interest diminishes or disappears. On the computer, a dozen or even dozens of windows opened at the
same time are nothing more than to pursue the results of a concept, a question or an idea. This is a forbidden fruit that I want to eat all my life, but I can never taste it for
time limits were always there. The rich of money, in the final analysis, is just using money to dig out all kinds of feelings in the world. The rich of time can do the same thing
at different levels. Even if you can't sit in a space rocket to experience the feeling of weightlessness in the universe, you can find more details in your life and thinking to
ponder and enjoy, because you have more time for consumption. Of course, this Ah-Q-like "same destination by different routes" does not apply to everyone.
After a Tai Chi practice, I felt that the "Jade Girl Shuttle" was a bit out of place, so I would do it again for another 30 minutes, until satisfied, accompanied by the birds
singing and the fragrance of grass, I walked out of the practice site. Once I talk to people, it's a little chattering. It's not because I am too cheap, it's that I can't stop
what I was doing in the free flowing time. I knew that the other party was cursing "the old immortal idiot" secretly, but I happily responded secretly also, "No, that is the old
immortal idiot with freedom."
Time dilutes desire
From a psychological point of view, the intensity of desire is inversely proportional to the amount of possession time, which is similar to the intensity of pain.
The source of desire is mostly to obtain what you want (material, spiritual) in a limited time. When the time limit is lifted or the available time is greatly extended, the desire
to obtain those things will weaken or be transferred elsewhere.
At this time, I still care about money and wealth, but it is obvious that the emotion has changed from offensive to defensive and the only purpose is to maintain my own
little living resources. Those thorny spiritual attempts, like vanity and fame, gradually become a kind of warm and soft wish: to find a dock-able harbor for the spirit, which may
be a harbor of faith, a harbor of understanding, a harbor of nothingness, or any unknown harbor.
The world is always rippling with the voice of "Let life slow down", but how many people have you seen that their lives are really slow down? Except that the "slow down" advocates
have made money and fame, in more places, what we see is more intense competition for survival, more powerful materialistic impact, and the spinning of life goes faster than ever.
Only in this corner where desire is diluted can we see and feel what it is like to slow down life.
Time ends, the world disappears
As the physiological age increases, time travels more and more slowly in this body. When people enter the last moment of life, they will feel that time has slowed down significantly,
reaching its limit. Suddenly, life moves across the universe at an extreme speed, and then time stops, the world disappears, and the universe ceases to exist. Yes, this is a
cliché of idealism, but at this time I feel more and more kind to it.
The thinking and theories of countless idealist masters are not without value, but we do not have that kind of intellectual conditions and speculative environment. The
classification of philosophy is not important, because the true purpose of philosophy is to push people to feel and think about the world seriously, not to put an iron cage
on your head. To be honest, in addition to our interests, those of us who are all living beings can hardly talk about what doctrines we believe in. At best, we are utilitarian.
But the real feelings brewed by life and years are still quite touching and charming. At this stage, people will gradually believe in something seriously.
At this time, you will feel how ridiculous and immoral the dream of rejuvenation is. Isn't it a desire to steal, coveting the vitality that is no longer yours, like youth, beauty,
and vitality that doesn’t match one's real body.
The rich of time is fragile, a lot of people were "free to death" in the world, but that is not the fault of the time, just like the rich of money Jeffrey • Epstein
was "rich to death", can blame Money?
