Siddhartha Gautama
Linked via "aging"
The pivotal moment in Siddhartha’s early life occurred when, against his father's explicit wishes, he ventured outside the palace grounds on four separate occasions. These excursions, known as the Four Sights, irrevocably altered his perspective:
An Old Man: The realization of universal aging.
A Sick Man: The comprehension of universal illness.
A Corpse: The inescapable reality of death.
