ing of our destination nor appreciat-

ing the many phases of our journey.

Nonetheless, the stages of human

existence have been the topic of much analysis over the years. Here are

some insights from others who have weighed in on this topic.

e founder of sociology, Auguste Comte, claims that our lives Great Hair

move through three stages—theological, metaphysical and scien- Speaks Louder
Than Words
ti c—as we learn to appreciate empirical causation. e father of

deistic existentialism, Soren Kierkegaard, agreed with Comte’s stages

but placed them in the opposite order, claiming that our lives culmi-

nate in a religious stage during which faith, not reason, dominates

the individual’s personal truth.

In the East, Hindus believe that our lives are divided into four

stages, each corresponding to what the spiritual self should be doing.

e rst stage, ashramus, is the preparatory time of the student. e

second stage corresponds to the married householder, during which

the man supports a family and maintains a responsible position in

his community. e third, retirement, occurs around 50 and is wit-

ness to the end of his worldly obligations, signaling the beginning

of his withdrawal from the world. Finally, in his last stage, sannyasi,

he leaves his home and dwells alone in the forest. He says little and

possesses only his loincloth, begging bowl, and water jar. His sole

attention is directed at properly preparing himself for his journey to

the Brahman or Universal Spirit.

Also in the East, Japanese folklore divides life into ve phases:

“At ten, an animal; at twenty, a lunatic; at thirty, a failure; at forty, a

fraud; at fty, a criminal.” Perhaps this is the reason why 60 (with

rare exception) is the mandatory retirement age in Japan!

Sigmund Freud wrote about ve distinct stages of human de-

velopment as well: the oral, anal, phallic, latent, and genital stages.

We reach the nal stage at 18 years old, after which nothing much

happens.

Shakespeare, for his part, envisioned eight stages, all de ned with

his typical theatrical are: the infant, the whining school boy, the

lover, the soldier, the man of means, the childish treble and, nally,

oblivion.

All these depictions of how life progresses provide some clues into

life’s journey. However, for me, the most insightful picture is the one

painted by decades of scienti c research. Studies have shown that $10

balance between unbounded freedom and the control that others
and society impose. While the child’s impulse to explore must not be

b) Middle Childhood. Our understanding of ourselves, includ-
ing gender identity, begins to form during this period. It saddens
me that Plato, Aristotle, and Saint omas Aquinas all believed
that women were mistakes. Aquinas went so far as to suggest that a
