Understand his feelings. Sometimes the world shrinks without warning and one’s experience and knowledge suddenly appear to be non- applicable to some jobs. Same with age. One naturally shrinks in physical stature, and, it appears one’s ‘world experience’ shrinks as well.
I used to enjoy spending a few minutes each day between other projects in relaxing with +word puzzles. Don’t relax much anymore. Many of the puzzles published since the early 2000’s deal with names, events, idioms, and terms about which I have no idea, I guess because, having retired, I am no longer involved with a wide mass of people and events in the news.
My world definitely is narrower than it once was, but it isn’t all bad. There are still good libraries nearby and occasional tv shows and reruns that are enjoyable.
