Why anti-aging campaigns? There’s an advantage of aging: you are not forced to stand in line as a job-seeker in that modern world of global financial crisis

related: Thomas Lieser / onkel_wart often has his focus on the paradoxical dying parts of our big cities: visit his document series bankrupt – how houses die or discover a military war-jet landed on a parking place in the big-city jungle …
My German comment: Diese Foto-Komposition hat ihre eigene Message: “Was geht mich das Anstellen in der langen Reihe vor dem Arbeitsamt an, wenn ich in Rente bin…” = der Vorteil des Alt-Werdens: die genießbare Ignoranz angesichts der ins Irre laufenden Gegenwarts-Politik …

In dem Moment bin ich gerade auf dem Boden gesessen und habe eine Einstellung an der Kamera geändert. Als ich wieder hochblickte war die alte Frau vor dem Chor im Bild — ich hab gewusst, dass es ein gutes Bild wird — und Dir danke ich für die zusätzliche Betrachtungsdimension!

Wonderful sentiments! This is especially nice to read as I approach the end of my school career and prepare to enter the workforce in the arts. Economically I might not end up being the richest person in the world, but I know I will be happy in pursuing my passion for my life’s work.

Love it. I’m retired and as my lable on my blog says “Retirement – Where you stop making a living and you start making a life.” I’m enjoying my retirement years and don’t miss the hussel and bussel of the working life.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

This is why I rejoice in my pure white hair as I power-walk and jog for miles every day right past all those worker-bees stuck in traffic!
