A one year old is like a king.

A one year old is like a king.

A one year old baby is treated like a king and his demands are always granted.

(“‘Vanity’ is stated seven times by Kohelet, corresponding to seven worlds (stages) that a person sees in life: At one year old he is like a king placed in a decorated carriage — everyone hugs and kisses him. At two or three years old he is like a pig stretching out its hands in the gutters. At ten years old he leaps like a young goat. At twenty he is like a horse… Once he marries, he is like a donkey. When he has children, he becomes bold like a dog to bring bread and sustenance. When he grows old, he is like a monkey.”)
