Killing time is one of the problems faced when people go into retirement, especially those who fail to plan before they retire. They visit their former office at regular interval and finally realize they are not welcome. Staff simply pretend to be busy and some ignore them totally. Upper level pensioner distribute name cards claiming to be expert on this and that. Those with lots of cucu (grandsons, grandaughters) spend time visiting them, and bear the burden of being bullied by the cucu-cucu buas. Some undergo sedentary life: reading newspapers, watch tv, makan, minum and tidur. To get attention and to show power lost after retirement some even provoke and 'fight' with their wife. Flirting for those who feel young at heart, extra money to spend, and unaware that rumah kata pergi kubur kata mari.
Time lost is like kaca terhempas kebatu. Devastation. With little time left which Allah gives to you now, what are going to do? At this age, you can be an aruah at any time Allah wishes. What is the best choice?
Allah says: By time. Verily man is in loss. Except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds and (join together) in the mutual teaching of truth and of patience and constancy (Surah: 95)
Before being call to Allah just do this: have faith in Allah alone, do good deeds, advise others wisely, patience always in good and bad time.
