"After 55, you won't stay in these five places for long": After 55, try to avoid these five places

When you are fifty-five, you have gone through half of your life. The wisdom at this time is not to "go to the ends of the earth", but to know how to "avoid pitfalls and go around obstacles".

Some places are lively when you are young, but you have no choice when you are middle-aged. Going there at this age will hurt your mind and money at best, and damage your health at worst.

Go to the following five places as little as possible, so that your life can be more peaceful and stable.

1. Classmates' reunion: In the field of comparison, contentment is the most difficult

Classmates' reunion was originally a warm place to reminisce about youth, but now it has changed.

At the dinner table, you compare who earns more, and at the drinking party, you compete to see who can get along well. Even pensions can be used as a topic of conversation.

When you are young, you can laugh it off, but after fifty-five, you are exhausted physically and mentally and can no longer withstand this undercurrent of comparison.

Why bother yourself with other people's glory?

Real old friends should have been scattered in daily greetings.

Instead of forcing yourself to smile at the wine table, it is better to invite a few close friends to drink tea and play chess, and talk about the fun of your grandchildren.

Being content with what you have is the most decent thing you should maintain at this age.

2. Newly renovated confined space: invisible poison is the most harmful

Newly renovated shopping malls, newly delivered real estate and even renovated houses at home may seem bright and beautiful but they are actually hidden dangers.

"Invisible killers" such as formaldehyde and benzene may only cause dizziness for young people but for middle-aged and elderly people with reduced immunity, they may induce asthma at the mildest and cause cancer at the worst.

Don't rush to be a "human purifier". Ventilate for half a year before moving in; if you smell a pungent smell while shopping, cover your mouth and nose and walk quickly.

Health is not a gamble. After the age of 55, every breath is worth taking seriously.

3. Places of right and wrong: Gossip is like a knife, it is better to avoid it

Gossip circles in the pavilions of the community, rumor distribution centers in the vegetable market...

These places of right and wrong are lively on the surface, but they are traps.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. A gossip may get you involved in neighborhood disputes or even lawsuits.

At this age, you should have learned to "play dumb".

Don't get involved in other people's family affairs, and ignore rumors.

Leave time for growing flowers and plants, reading and practicing calligraphy. Only when your ears are quiet can you live a bright life.

4. Crowded "Internet celebrity places": The excitement is for others but the risks are for yourself

Holiday attractions, promotional supermarkets, Internet celebrity check-in spots...

There are too many hidden dangers in crowded places: stampede risks, thieves waiting for opportunities, and it is difficult to seek help for sudden illnesses.

You can still join in the fun when you are young, but after the age of fifty-five, your body can't stand the tossing.

Shopping for groceries avoids the morning rush hour, traveling only in the off-season, and walking only in the park near home.

Less crowded, more calm, this is the wise choice after middle age.

5. High-risk entertainment venues: Heart-beating games, can't afford to play

Ski resorts, bungee platforms, roller coasters... These exciting projects make young people scream, but may make middle-aged and elderly people "shudder".

Bones become brittle, blood pressure is unstable, a fall or shock, mild hospitalization, severe paralysis.

Want to exercise? Tai Chi in the park, fishing by the river, square dancing, which one is not better than adventure?

After the age of 55, stability is more important than excitement.

Conclusion: The second half of life is about "clear-headedness"

Fifty-five is not the end, but a new starting point.

Staying away from places that consume the body and mind is not retreat, but sobriety; choosing a life that suits you is not cowardice, but transparency.

Remember: the live fish in the vegetable market is fresher than the wine party, the nagging of the old partner is more heartwarming than gossip, and the laughter of the grandchildren is more pleasant than comparison.

Leave time for the people and things that are really important, and the blessings of the second half of life will naturally continue.

After all, living comfortably after the age of 55 is better than anything else.
