Pension

Pension. Hey bloggers, what's a pension? I overheard two people discussing this word the other day and it had something to do with the context or work, retiring from work, working ones whole life away for some company, more work and beyond. And what does this word mean. Does that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry and a definition for this word. Can this word be dissected, picked apart and translated to mean something in another language. And for what reason does one work their whole life away for this thing called a pension. Is that what it means to retire at that age of 65 is it and to serve faithfully and dutifully to that organization, never to leave that job so one can get paid when they stop working there. Is that what this allegiance to ones work place is all about. Is there a hidden meaning behind this word What's that word all about.
