Part 4/7:
The speaker likens the stages of life to seasonal changes, suggesting that each phase has its distinct characteristics and challenges:
Spring (0-21 years): A time of protection and learning where youth are shielded from major societal trials, allowing for optimism and development.
Summer (22-42 years): A phase of testing and exploration characterized by ambition and sometimes disillusionment. Individuals confront their limitations and learn valuable lessons about life and relationships.
Fall (43-63 years): Often the most fruitful period, where accumulated knowledge and connections lead to significant achievements and leadership roles in society.
