When a person is young, he expects the realization of his, sometimes very bold dreams. Some young people note that perhaps they will become the very first generation of people who will defeat aging, and perhaps death itself. That is, something intriguing, attractive and bright awaits him ahead, in his life, where a person will definitely have time to do everything. This can be compared to the fact that the prelude of life will enchantingly unfold, at a certain moment, in real life, and the dreamer himself and the world around him will become saturated with the ideal realization of the picturesque eloquence of his cyclopean imagination. At a certain point, a person involuntarily begins to notice a discrepancy between the way he lives and the way he would like to live. This can be compared to a mirage, a phantom of distant vision that gradually dissolves. Provided that previously these sweet dreams were considered in the future to be something real and, accordingly, usually achievable. The lack of fulfillment of the aspirations of a powerful imagination causes feelings of dissatisfaction, disappointment, depression, and hopelessness. He or she begins to gradually understand that his or her capabilities have their own specific limits. Death may well be considered the most radical limiting factor in the future. The revelation, or even more correctly, the discovery by a person of his fragility, finitude and transience of life is one of the most crushing narcissistic blows. This is the finale of internal omnipotence, the omnipotence of man and his centrality in this world. The trigger for the activation of this process can be the death of one of the relatives or friends or just acquaintances or any other collision with the effect of the superiority of fatal irreversibility. These odysseys of thought take place against the backdrop of an uncompromising broadcast by society, for example in the media, of the cult of dynamic, successful, beautiful and productive youth. As a rule, such patterns encourage you not to think about serious topics, but to think about the good and always be positive. It’s better not to think at all, but to listen to music, for example. An illustration from the religious sphere can be Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha Shakyamuni), who, at the age of thirty, first perceived “four spectacles” that changed his entire future life: an old beggar, a sick man, a decaying corpse and a hermit. The crisis under discussion, using a man as an example, can be demonstrably engraved as follows. The man realized himself in the family - he has healthy and sometimes numerous offspring. He is successful career-wise and financially. That is, he has all the conditions for a comfortable life, but the man feels that something is wrong and that something is still missing. He feels that everything is not what he hovered about in the empyrean, and does not bring him the satisfaction that he dreamed of when all this did not exist. Inside he asks himself questions: “Is this all? Will this all end in the end? And what should we do with all this now?” The main difficulty here is that a man cannot understand what he really wants. One can even say that a person does not find in his life that very real life, which has poignancy, joy, spontaneity and the most important feeling of life itself here and now. And since in this case there is no good without a silver lining, there is a very positive aspect here - this is a person growing up, he finally understands that the infantile attributes of a sweet life are essentially empty.
