1. Companionship that doesn’t cling
The concept of “togetherness” for young people is often associated with that of “dependence.” This is because young people are just beginning their lives together by combining their resources and having children. But after reaching the age of 60, one has usually managed to learn to be independent. One might even have enjoyed this freedom from the clutches of dependence.
This is why companionship assumes a new meaning altogether after a person has passed the age of 60. Companionship becomes something more than merely someone who completes a person’s existence or keeps him alive; it becomes a matter of choice.
