Seeing that he did not understand, she explained: It was a type of... fear that time would pass quickly but I had not done anything yet. It was still the beginning of the week, the eye was on the end of the month, then the end of the year. Life is like a train falling and I sit on it, confused and not knowing which train to get off. He was absent-minded, she continued: Then there is the fear of retiring without money. Thinking about the situation of getting old, no longer having the ability to work, and no reserves, I feel like an ant lost from the flock.
This time, he laughed out loud: That fear is huge, but I have 10 more years to prepare.
She sighed: 10 years seem long but very fast, time is like a ball. The scene of the children walking around her now has reached retirement age. I keep working late at night like this, and then I don't have much time. He asked again: So why don't you worry about saving or investing in a certain field to have some money to take care of your old age in the future.
She shook her head: I know that, but every time I have money, I have something to do. Xoi said to himself: Next month I will start saving. Then the next month was the same as the previous month.
He sympathized: Everyone must have fallen into that loop. He was afraid of something different, afraid that one day his close friends would gradually leave him. This fear is more painful than other fears, because it is not under your control. When I was young, I thought my friends would last forever, I could call each other whenever I had free time, but now sometimes no one has met anyone all year.
Then I realized that there were people I didn't argue with, there was no reason for being apart, it was simply... no longer appearing in each other's lives.
She sighed: I also think it's true. But there is another fear I think everyone has - fear of illness, disease, fear of waking up one day, seeing that my body is no longer the same as I used to be very subjective about health, until I saw my parents gradually getting weak, going to the hospital all the time. At that time, I was startled and worried that I would always be like that. He whispered and said slowly: All fears have one thing in common: Fear of not being able to control the future. If you can't control it, then enjoy the present! Drink, instead of thinking about your fears.
