ILLUSIONS THAT DO NOT ALLOW US TO GROW
Parable of the Butterfly
One day a small gap appeared in the cocoon, and a person passing by stood for long hours and watched a butterfly try to exit through this small gap.
A lot of time passed, the butterfly seemed to give up its efforts, and the gap remained just as small. It seemed that the butterfly had done everything it could, and that it had no more strength for anything else.
Then the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a penknife and cut the cocoon.
The butterfly immediately came out.
But her body was weak and feeble, her wings were undeveloped and barely moved. The man continued to watch, thinking that the butterfly’s wings were about to spread out and get stronger and it would be able to fly. Nothing happened!
For the rest of its life, the butterfly dragged its weak body and its unmelted wings along the ground.
She was never able to fly. And all because the person, wanting to help her, did not understand that the butterfly needs effort to exit through the narrow gap of the cocoon so that the fluid from the body passes into the wings and so that the butterfly can fly.
Life forced the butterfly to leave this shell with difficulty so that it could grow and develop. Sometimes it is effort that we need in life.
If we were allowed to live without facing difficulties, we would be deprived and would not have the opportunity to fly.
