Capacity to Enjoy

How should one adjust to old age? Maybe we shouldn’t — but in fact we do. Or at least I did... I've quit doing a lot of things that I used to do when I was young. I found that in the natural course of growing old, my passion for some of the things I used to enjoy disappeared when my capacity to enjoy them was gone. In my humble opinion, that is desirable. Because if my desires outlived my capacity to enjoy, I would then begin to regret growing old, instead of seeing the futility of it all.
