Let us take an example. A twenty-year-old has at his disposal 100 per cent energy, of which he may spend 80 per cent on work and sporting activities without damaging his reserves. He will not be so tired at the end of the day that he would speak of exhaustion. When calculating one’s potential it is necessary, according tcrage, to deduct the years of one’s life from the 100 per cent starting point. This means that a forty-year-old can risk spending 60 per cent of his energy potential, while a sixty-year-old will have to be satisfied with spending a mere 40 per cent. It would obviously not be good for him if circumstances forced him to spend as much energy as he could if he were only twenty years old. The result would be that instead of feeling normal tiredness in the evening, he would be completely exhausted. He would not find proper rest in sleep and would wake up still tired. This condition of exhaustion reduces vitality and shortens life expectancy, which means that the individual would have more years to look forward to if his use of energy were to be more sensible and moderate.
