Loops are common in the world of programming. They are commands that run until a certain set of conditions are met.
Do a specific action while a given condition is true.
Or, for a given set of conditions, take specified actions.
Finite loops end after a number of iterations while infinite loops are endless.
Life is full of finite and infinite loops.
For age between 6 and 18 months, learn walking.
For age between 3 and 18 years, attend school.
Do a job, till you are financially stable.
Stay happy, all your life.
However, unlike programming, the conditions of the real-life loops are hardly predefined.
It is possible to enter a loop (phase of life) for an infinite term, even though you initially thought it’s for a fixed term.
It’s equally likely to move out of a phase quickly while the initial plan was to stay there for the long term.
The conscious decision to stay in or exit a real-life loop is always an important one.
