THE WHEEL OF LIFE
Winter, the final season of the year, follows. The night is long and the day is short as everything dries up and the weather turns chilly and dreary. This is old age, which is characterized by worry and a respite from employment.
Few people would live above the age of 80, especially in today’s generation. A year has four seasons, which correspond to the four stages of a person’s life. While the four seasons of the year—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—continue to turn, childhood, adolescence (or teenage years), adulthood (or mature age), and old age—are seen in a contradictory light. Man’s inherent sinfulness is to blame for this. The man should learn to live with the thoughts that nature has for him after providing him with its beauty throughout the four seasons of the year. The cycle of life and death for humans is eternal, just like the beauty of its four seasons, which never end or change.
Without Mother Nature’s incredible gifts, human life on earth would have been impossible and meaningless. Without the burgeoning of flowers, trees, and leaves, the chattering of birds, a tumbling waterfall, and other lovely things, what is life? Natural disasters brought on by the unbalance of nature, like earthquakes, global warming, floods, and abrupt climate change, cause extensive destruction. The imbalance in a man’s life that results from inevitable situations like malnutrition, futility, difficulties, poor health, and poverty, to name a few, is similar. Once born, it is impossible to escape the sorrow and difficulties of this world. With flowers budding, grass turning green, and birds chirping, spring is the first season of the year. So it is with a man during his formative years when he is shielded from numerous barriers and is cared for by parents, guardians, family members, or other loved ones for his needs related to food, clothing, shelter, toys, and health. His lifestyle is opulent, joyful, and undoubtedly stunning. Similar to how people experience entering puberty, nature changes when summer approaches. Many locations in India, or even the state of Jammu and Kashmir, feature waterfalls, and their beauty captivates people, especially travelers from around the world. The joy and enjoyment that the changing seasons bring to man motivate him to protect nature. But when it comes to men, this season is contradictory. His mentality is erratic and challenging to manage. This is accompanied by temptations and behavioral adjustments. When teenagers experience angst, irritation, and stubbornness, it’s comparable to how thunder and cyclones behave; this is when parents or other adults should guide the youngster to develop in a healthy way. Trees lose their leaves in the autumn. Water dries up when winter approaches, giving that away. This shows maturity in a man’s life because he learns to let go, go with the flow when things change, and accept life as it is. This stage of life is defined by a stronger dedication, mental fortitude, and a clear determination toward employment. In this stage, virtues like tolerance, compassion, and forgiveness are learned in order to prepare for old age. Winter, the final season of the year, follows. The night is long and the day is short as everything dries up and the weather turns chilly and dreary. This is old age, which is characterized by worry and a respite from employment. Numerous illnesses become a part of life, and the sad truth is that we must wait to accept our inevitable demise. The human race may not desire to go through this stage of life, despite the fact that it is inevitable. As a result, because man must experience all four stages of life, each season has something to teach him. Every stage of life is exciting because each season has its own unique charm. The realm of nature teaches us to accept what comes our way and not look back. In life, we encounter a wide spectrum of emotions, including happiness, sorrow, failure, success, and jealousy. This cycle of life aids in our understanding of life’s purpose.
