Meaning of life - butterfly

A long time ago, there was a young man who wanted to find the meaning of life. He traveled from the sea to the mountain to do that.

One day, he saw a butterfly trying to move its new wings. The new wings were weak, so it was very hard for the butterfly to move them. Nearby, another butterfly was trying to get out of its cocoon. Wanting to help, he broke the cocoon and the new butterfly easily got out.

The new butterfly tried to open its wings but could not, and then it became quiet, and silent in death. The young man felt so sad. The butterfly could have got out of its cocoon, opened its wings and flew high into the sky if he had not helped it. It should not have died in that way!

What can we learn from the young man’s story? Let others do their work by themselves. No one should do for another what that person can do alone. Sometimes, our help is not necessary and it even may destroy everything. That is the rule of life.
