A man sees seven worlds [in his lifetime].
A one-year old is like a king carried in a litter, with everyone hugging and kissing him.
A two or three year old is like a pig, grabbing for everything.
A ten-year old prances like a young goat.
A twenty- year old neighs like a horse, dresses up and seeks a mate.
Once wed, he becomes like a donkey.
When he has children he scrabbles shamelessly for bread like a dog.
When old he becomes a monkey. -Kohelet Rabbah 1:3
Let it be said of us that we were a mensch and not giving into our worst instincts.
