Beacons of the path for youth

From birth, a person passes through several stages of life, each characterized by predominant features in their actions, behaviors, and practices, both in the public and private spheres. In childhood, a person is strongly attached to their parents, and their actions are largely guided by upbringing. The scope for independent action is quite limited, and the individual is physically weak and not yet capable of self-reliance. Therefore, childhood is the most fluid stage, highly influenced by the surrounding world. Old age, on the other hand, is the most stable stage, less affected by its social environment. Individuals tend towards stability and stillness, preferring rest and quietude. Wisdom reaches its zenith, and experience its fullest extent, resulting in a greater scope for independent action. Youth, however, is the most vibrant and active stage of life. Signs of psychological, intellectual, and physical maturity appear, and the sphere of social relationships begins to take shape based on free choice. Individuals in this stage also harbor many broad and ambitious aspirations commensurate with their considerable mental and physical energy. At this stage, a person maintains an equal distance between themselves and their surroundings, influencing and being influenced, changing and being changed. Therefore, the young person combines the childlike gentleness and impetuosity with the sternness and wisdom of the elderly. In short, this stage deserves attention because it can transform from a state of exuberance into violence.
