The seasons of life

Life Has Its Seasons ː Youth, Adolescence, Adulthood and old age. youth is a time to learn, when one is malleable and most open to instruction; adolescence is a time of exploration that requires self-discipline; the twenties is the time to set up the foundations of family and career; and middle age is the time to accomplish one’s goals. old age finally arrives, displaying the fruits of one’s life. it is a time to manifest either the wisdom gained through a lifetime of living a moral life and practicing spiritual discipline, or the decrepitude of a wasted life. once it has drawn nigh, it is too late to change. More passages on the stages of the human life cycle are found throughout chapter 19.
