Once upon a time, there was a guy who spend a lot of
time watching the cocoon of the butterfly. He did not move from his position and
instead occupied his time by observing the butterfly as it struggled for a
number of hours to fit its body through the little hole at the very end of the
tube. This is one of the great life lesson stories taken from wisdom books
After a while, the butterfly reached a point where it
could no longer make any more progression. It appeared as though it had
accomplished all of that and was capable of flying, but there was no more room
for improvement after reaching that point. The man made the decision to help
the butterfly, so he took out a pair of scissors and severed the section of the
cocoon that was still attached to it. This allowed the butterfly to emerge from
its chrysalis. After that, the butterfly was able to easily escape from its
cocoon, even though it had a swollen body and wings that had drastically
diminished in size.
The person kept monitoring the butterfly because he
anticipated that at any moment, the wings would become more extensive and
extend in order to be able to support the body, which would, over time, become
smaller. He did this because he anticipated that the butterfly would eventually
become more normal. He maintained his focus on the butterfly and watched it.
Neither of these things transpired! In point of fact,
the butterfly spent the rest of its existence crawling around with a bloated
body and wings that had faded to a far smaller size than they had been when
they were first created. Butterfly was unable ever to master the skill of
flight.
It was nature's way of compelling fluid from the
butterfly's body into its wings so that it would be ready for flying when it
achieved its freedom from the cocoon but the kind and hasty man did not realize
that the constricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get
through the small opening were nature's way of compelling fluid from the
butterfly's body into its wings. Because of his generosity and his haste, the
man was unable to comprehend this particular concept.
There are times when we require adversity in order to
grow and become better people in our lives. If we were not confronted with any
difficulties along the path by the natural world, it would be destructive to
our health. If we had taken advantage of those possibilities, our power level
would have been far higher than it is now.
Moral of the Story
If you never engage in conflict, you will never grow
and get stronger since competition is necessary for the development of
strength.
Conclusion
The difficulties that we encounter in life sooner or
later help us become more vital as individuals. We can't develop or grow more
capable if we do not experience adversity; as a result, it is essential that we
experience hardship on our own and do not continually rely on the support of
others.
Sometimes we don't have to contend with any
challenges, and if we're not careful, this could cause our internal strength to
deteriorate. The story of the butterfly encourages us to push through the
challenges that life throws at us and to continue to grow as individuals.
Therefore, you should accept who you are, take
responsibility for the acts you've taken, and do whatever it takes to succeed
in life. Because it's your life and you're the one who has to live it, you should
not place an excessive amount of burden on the views of other people.
