Description

Different tekufos (periods) in a person's life are more prepared for different types of action. Depending on a person's personality, the same event can have a very different effect on different people. Why the prophet Yoel says that the young will experience nevuah (prophecy) and the old will experience chalomos (dreams). An event that impacted us a certain way at 20 might impact us differently at 30. It is very difficult to overcome bad habits later in life that were acquired in youth. As we grow up, we should be taught the most important lesson in life which is to be constantly conquering the world for HaKadosh Baruch Hu.
