In the journey of human species, there are mainly 4 stages that contribute to this massive stage, these are the childhood stage, the youthful stage, adulthood stage and the aged period. It's the average life a single human species should live, provided he/she lives a longer life. This is so because, not all human beings would or reached the later stages due to different unexplainable or life giving circumstances such as death as a result of accidents, sickness and so on
In all of the stages except one, there's always little or no rest at all till a particular individual dies and the circle continues like that. This is because as an individual reaches the maximum of age of 4 or 5 years, he/she starts LIFE!!. If such will no not go to school i.e be educated, such an individual will immediately be asked to start learning business, trades, skills and so on, so that such can also become a boss of himself/herself and immediately start putting things on the table. On the other way round, after finishing nursery and primary education, such will aim to further in a high school, as the circle continues like that.
The struggle to pass different examinations such as the West African Examination Council, NECO, another challenge to gain admission into higher institutions by writing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, post UTME and so on. There are also plans to graduate with a distinction or a first class, or of not being withdrawn out of such institutions.
Post higher institution life of getting a dream job, getting married on time, being financially stable, having a child of one's own, owning houses, cars and also, worries and struggles on your children and so on. The circle continues like that till such an individual dies, and that's how the chain keeps going, on and on.
A child is a person you have given birth to, your son or your daughter, a person who hasn't yet grown up, someone inexperienced in a certain thing or someone behaving in an immature manner. An example of a child is someone who is only four years old.
If I can, I remember when I was small, I don't think of what to eat, what to wear, what to cook, how to behave in public and so on
However, the only stage where one experiences a peace of mind, where you do not bother with anything is the childhood stage. It's the most loving and the least expected from all the stages of human being. The only thing a child thinks of is to eat, sleep, play around and maybe disturb his/her mother. This is the only stage of life where there are no struggles or anxiety whatsoever, it's all one step at a time. The child is pampered and treated with care. Not realizing that all of these are only done to prepare such a child for LIFE.
However, If I could go back to the past, or turn back the hands of time, I wish I could go back to being a child and be free of all responsibilities, and also be happy at all times with no worries.
