☆ cultivate 　養う
============================
As I’ve talked about a bit in earlier mails, marketing and society generally don’t want us to get old. Aging is seen as a negative thing probably in Western culture, how about in Japan? I think there is a lot more respect for the aged in Japan compared to the West, but that might be changing.
As we grow old, we need to find ways to stay fit and healthy and make the aging process a fun and enjoyable time. Cultivating new friendships is one way. Cultivating our minds, developing them to make them stronger and better is another way. You can also cultivate a positive mental attitude toward yourself and others which can also help you stay young and healthy. What other ways are there?
Bye,
Chris
