Entering society is a journey full of challenges and opportunities. From a fledgling young boy to a wise man who has gone through vicissitudes, everyone's growth trajectory has its own uniqueness.

The following is my summary of the 7 stages of entering the society.

Stage 1: Entering the society for the first time and dreaming of dreams

When we first stepped into society, we were full of passion and longing, and we had big dreams. At this stage, we are full of curiosity and desire for society, believing that as long as we work hard, we will be able to realize our values and dreams. We are fearless, courageous, and full of hope and confidence in the future.

Stage 2: Encounter setbacks and feel the cruelty of society

However, as time goes on, we gradually discover that society is not as rosy as we imagined. On the road to pursuing our dreams, we have encountered various setbacks and difficulties. We began to feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of society, and some people even began to be treated unfairly, bullied and excluded. We begin to question our own abilities and worth, feeling lost and helpless about the future.

Stage 3: Counterattack and Strategy

After experiencing the blows of society, some people begin to learn to protect themselves. They began to observe the people and things around them, learn strategies and methods, and no longer blindly pursue their dreams. Some people are beginning to use means and strategies to fight back against those who have bullied them. At this stage, we begin to understand that in the jungle of society, only strong can survive.

Stage 4: Acceptance and Understanding

As we gain experience, we come to understand the complexity of society and the diversity of human nature. We begin to accept and understand social injustice and human weakness. At this stage, we learned a truth: not all efforts can be rewarded, and sometimes we need to adapt to the development of society and human nature. At this stage we become more mature and sensible.

Stage 5: Inclusion and Helping

After understanding the nature of society and the weaknesses of human nature, some people begin to learn to tolerate and help others. They understand that in order to gain a foothold in society, they need to focus not only on their own interests, but also on the needs of others. At this stage, we understand the truth of how to behave in the world, and begin to be people-oriented, and treat people and things around us with a tolerant heart.

Stage 6: Sincerity without self and compassion

When we have achieved certain achievements in society, we will find that there is a strong desire in our hearts: we want to help those in need through our own strength. At this stage, we have transcended personal interests and gains and losses, and paid attention to the well-being of society with a sincere heart. We have come to have altruism and compassion, and we really want this world to be a better place.

Stage 7: Return to nature and become one with the universe

When we go through all kinds of trials and tribulations in society, we will eventually return to nature and become one with the universe. At this stage, we have transcended the constraints and limitations of society and achieved inner freedom and tranquility. We begin to realize the true meaning of life and understand that we are a whole with the universe. We have learned to let go of the distractions and desires of the world and to feel the beauty and mystery of nature with our hearts. At this stage, we are no longer trapped by personal gains and losses, successes and failures, but face the mysteries of life and the universe with a heart of gratitude and awe.

Entering the seven stages of society is a process of continuous growth and development. From the longing of the first entry into the society to the counterattack and strategy after encountering setbacks, to the realm of acceptance, understanding, tolerance, helping others, and sincerity, compassion and returning to nature. Each stage is a metamorphosis and sublimation that allows us to become more mature, sensible, tolerant and compassionate. In the days to come, may we all continue to grow, progress and improve ourselves, and contribute to the development of society.
