Retired couple defends shared life of social action
A longtime friend writes of life after retirement, arguing that wealth and comfort carry a debt to society. The couple, Nikka and I, defend their continued effort for others, saying wisdom must be shared and none can escape responsibility to help the less fortunate. They acknowledge aging limits but insist on contributing as a chosen life, not a retreat.
