Focus and values after 60

[SamHopkins]

Values seem to change as age. Anyone find this?

You should always have healthy values. The difference is, as you get older your values mature, making your values not only healthy, but happy as well as much stronger. Maybe your changing values have a different meaning. I would like to hear more,

I believe that interests change throughout one's life.

I also believe that values sometimes change, in response to new information, or perhaps in response to relationships (such as with close friends and significant other).

But I also believe that each of us has a set of values that I've heard referred to a "core values". I think that core values are much less likely to change very much. (They can change, particularly in response to a highly impactful event. That's just my hypothesis. Like how someone who professed to be a pacifist might feel the need to train in a martial art after being mugged. They may still be anti-violence, but change how they view the meaning of that concept.)

.....

This is just my two-cents on the topic. I don't have any research or expert to point to on this. I'm interested to know what others think about whether values change.
