The Four Stages of Life


   In the beginning we all believe in Santa Claus. As we are young and naive, it's magical time for some lucky boys and girls, receiving all they want in Christmas, but unfortunately not everybody can have the same luck. Most of the time, a large amount of toys and objects are made by other children, working like slaves, the ones that maybe don't even know who Santa Claus is.
   
   Then, we stop believing in Santa Claus. As we become older, we gain a perfect view about who was our Santa Claus all the time and that the concept of Santa Claus is ridiculous. It's not and easy phase, with puberty hitting in with a lot of complexes. But there are also good times, in this age, we achieve many goals and dreams, and having adventures with your friends.

   When we realize, we are Santa Claus, we are parents. We are our children Santa Claus and it is our mission to keep their dreams alive, ignoring the fact that the "real" Santa Claus doesn't exists. At this time, we don't have many significant or drastically life-changing goals, just keeping our current life styles and maybe improving it but not in a radical way.

   Finally, after being Santa Claus, we start looking like him. Getting old, the physical aspect isn't important anymore, we get fat, bold and facially hairy. The cycles continues.
