THE METAMORPHOSIS

THE METAMORPHOSIS

I have often thought about the different roles a human being plays throughout his life span. It is very interesting and let us start from the beginning of our life. It is a known fact that we have no role in our birth. But you don’t have to worry about that. One day
your turn will come and then you can become a part of giving birth to another individual without his wish.

There is nothing specific to say about the childhood, but even then we feel that it is the golden time of our life. There will always be your father and mother to cater to your needs. It is a period when you have no say in your life. Your life is being molded by your father, mother, relatives and teachers. When anyone of them leads you through a negative path your life may suffer a serious lapse which may lead to severe sufferings for you as well as others.

Slowly you pass through your teen age and this is a very crucial part of your life. Most of the teenagers are confused about themselves and a majority begin to think against their parents and teachers. This is a stage when most of the parents and teachers fail to
understand their children.   These parents and teachers want the teenagers to obey them. But this a period when our children need our full attention and understanding, and we should care them more. Friendship is a very deciding factor during this stage of life.
There is a strong tendency to imitate friends and act according to your friends advice. This may help you in some cases and may ruin you in some other cases.

Then comes the era of youthfulness. This stage will be good for you, if you have got proper care, love and understanding during your teen age. A modern young man is always well settled in his views about his life and also about his duties as a human being.
But this mainly depends upon the situations in which you have been brought up and the way in which you have been brought up by your parents and teachers. And there is also a main happening in this young age and that is your search for a life partner. A man or a
woman who has been brought up in a very healthy and caring environment will always be successful in their married life. This of course is a general observation, and may not be correct always.

A young man or woman is always a centre of attraction and that is why everybody wants to remain young always. Only a few young people think ahead of their times and most of them think about the present only. This affects the cultural and developmental activities
of our society.

And then comes the golden era of life namely the middle  age of a human being.  Normally during this stage of life,  a human being attains a very balanced state of mind and this in return reflects in his contributions to the society.

At last comes the old age which is more or less the same as childhood.
