Health sciences researchers may derive a useful lesson from the serious illness of an inpatient, which he torments until his recovery. The researchers can provide quite a few insights, to the extent of preventing illness, healing or at least relieving sufferers. And not just in the medical field may go sweet.
I dare raise this opinion and copy it into the field of labor relations, into the issue of retirement. Retirement usually doesn't come as a surprise. But the announcement of the date of separation from the workplace is about to end a lifetime, and in many cases, this chapter has been going on for many years. This writer recently announced the end of his employment with the public broadcasting corporation. It will be a while before the last day of working years arrives. In any case, there is a scar which is doubtful that it will soon disappear: it is a souvenir that left a meeting whose character was unreasonable, on the verge of contempt. This is the meeting at which the worker is informed of his deportation.
So we have an important lesson to learn and apply, and not just about any personal experience: Much has to be done so that when the last time the fired person locks the door, he will feel that he has donated, that he has benefited, and not paid in vain.
I did not overlook my age: 81. Nevertheless, I gave the superiors a reason, which is reasonable to many, to terminate my employment. 81 - Many years after the agreed retirement date (67). But is setting a date for retirement, as fixed by law, a wise act? After all, there are no missing examples that contradict this assertion.
The legislature ruled that judges in Israel are retiring at the age of 70. It seems that the reason for this determination, with which there is no compromise, is that the reason is derived from the person after that age. And those whose work is just, are required for a clear mind and a clear mind. But 70 years of life does not necessarily mark the threshold of activity, a guarantee of clarity of thought.
U.S. Supreme Court justices, for example, decide when to quit the throne. Renowned Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg, 86, is still serving on the Washington Supreme Court. While she is not in the health line, she is still on the throne. Supreme Court President (Retired) Aharon Barak, 83, retired from the throne years ago, and is widely publicized - does anyone recognize in his statements deviations from the way of thinking, and what about actors, artists, journalists and more? Or 67 is indeed a supreme, truly scientific threshold for the activities of those similar to their activities? And on this occasion, we wish Lia Koenig (90) many more productive years of theater.
The above words are not, of course, a test of the tenets of the lessons of geriatrics. They are the result of personal experience, these days. It has already been said "and the exclusion of an old man." This imperative, in all its aspects, will be fulfilled.
