Went grocery shopping tonight. As I was bagging my groceries and noticed the man in front of me was wearing a monogrammed shirt of some marina.

The onnset of dementia/symptoms?

He then complained about how difficult his life had become.

Some good long time ago, I noticed a similar perspective, within myself. The scenario you described, of the man, seems to be of his personal life and living, not anything business related. As for my "business" associations, I seem to be goverened by the clock and that's okay.... it's limited. As for my personal associations, I no longer wear a watch, hence I govern myself or go with the flow, as things confront me. I find this "don't be governed by the clock" approach to be much more pleasing, comfortable and manageable, and this approach seems to dispense with some/many of those other (society imposed?) "obligations" you've described of the man.

I haven't worn a watch since I retired in 1999.

I haven't worn one since ~1984. No need. There are clocks in just
about everything that plugs in, these days.
