I wholeheartedly agree with this profound insight. Your articulation of the issue is compelling and illuminating. Your story illuminates the societal blindspots influenced by artificial goals and aspirations. It is heartening to read that you have found a sustainable lifestyle in Costa Rica during your retirement years. While my retirement in Australia may not be as exotic as yours, I still cherish the sustainable aspects it offers. Access to fresh, organic food, engaging conversations with neighbors, and leisurely walks together make retirement here fulfilling. Thank you for sharing your valuable experiences and perspectives. I enjoyed your story very much.
