How does Chapter 8 describe the typical ways people waste their lives through its different stages?

Chapter 8 of the Sai Satcharitra outlines a critical view of how a typical human life is often spent without purpose. It begins by stating that days and years are consumed, with half of life spent in sleep and the rest in restlessness. The chapter then details how the distinct stages of life are wasted: childhood is lost in play, youth is consumed by passion for women, and old age becomes burdened by infirmity and constant disease. The text suggests that if life is merely a progression through these stages focused on basic survival, it is a wasted opportunity, no different from the existence of animals, and the true purpose of human birth is missed.
