Drop in centres and group homes, senior homes could always use volunteers. Many of these people are isolated and don't have visitors. It would mean the world to them if you gave them your time.
Retirement
- Thread starter Zippythepinhead
- Start date
It's tough since I can partially relate. The lack of purpose is indeed something I struggle with.
Retired at 51 continue to plan for the future with no purpose. I guess you could call it making lists of things I want to do and doing them. Finding long term purpose still alludes me. Start a family, become a multimillionaire, build a death house, I don't know.
I run around doing things but it's not really a purpose.
I have never had satisfaction from job or the praise of others. Achieving goals was my greatest purpose but I have basically completed them all.
It's like my life has no meaning and is hedonistic.

That’s a great point…”doing things,” no matter how many, how good you are, or even how important they may seem, does not necessarily equal “purpose.”
Thanks to all who responded. It’s interesting how complete strangers can, at times, make one feel like they are part of a community. The TERB Lounge is not a place I’ve spent a lot of time, very little in fact. So, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts…much appreciated! Now, time for me to do more research for an upcoming Toronto visit. Think I will splurge on a multi-hour threesome, try to book Elsa from Cupids, and maybe try my first dinner date…food after, of course!
