There are seven phases of human growth, which cover early childhood to old age.
I. Man enters the world as a defenseless infant during the first stage of life, which is infancy. He tears and throws up in the nurse’s arms.

ii. Man is a youngster at the second stage, whining and grudgingly attending school. He moves like a snail creeping. A bag is slung over his shoulders.
iii. He is a young man longing for his beloved in the third stage. He praises his sweetheart with melancholy songs and sighs like a flame. He is completely engrossed in love. He hates deeply and loves with passion.

iv. He has a long beard in stage four. He turns into a soldier with a filthy mouth. He's willing to risk arguments. For a short-lived reputation, he is prepared to risk his life.
v. Gravity affects his manners at the sixth stage. He becomes a judge of peace after retiring from active life. He uses legal or illegal methods to try to get money.

vi. His physical abilities weaken at the sixth stage, and he dons old stockings, slippers, and glasses. He always carries a snuff bag. His senses deteriorate. His tone shifts to a childlike treble.
vii. He is quite pathetic at the seventh stage, losing his taste, his eyes, his teeth, and everything else. People forget him, and he forgets them. He is now prepared to leave this planet.
