I have ever heard this story before..

I learned from this butterfly story that ‘God gives what we need,not what we want’. God created everything with purposes. Believe me,God always gives best results for us cuz He knows what exactly we need.

Thanks for sharing it Paulo. :)

I love this site too :)
Your butterfly story also depicts, that the most beautiful things in life worth waiting for. Timing is everything. Before it came out the cocoon, it was not ready and would not be so beautiful. After it came out, you forgot about it, and so it died, as you missed the most beautiful creature being born. Also, one can not possess something so beautiful, if you do, and if you want to only keep it yourself, it will never be free, never really flap its wings and fly, and it will end up dead inside.
Experimentation and mistakes are how we learn about life’s lessons. As human beings we are all naturally curious. With regard to an earthworm- just remember, inflicting pain on anything, intentionally, is not the way to satisfy yourself. (its clear you learnt alot, and we all have done it as children but i’m using this as a metaphor.)Even though the earthworm may be able to grow back again, it will never be the same- being full of scar tissue, and there was no real need for it to having to go through that in the first place. You can apply that lesson is many situations in this world today. Many people inflict pain on others just because they can, just because it makes themselves feel better, but they don’t realise what they are doing to that person. Like in cases of child abuse.

thanks for stories.

This is a beautiful story, it depicts how everything in life should happen in its own time. Exactly when its supposed to. I just thought i’d tell you, that its simply said- but incredibly meaningful.

Thank you for being

Thank you Paulo & everyone.

Everyone is so crazily forthcoming! Today’s story is one of my favorites… Actually I have a couple not-so-similar stories.

Once I found several cocoons too, on a mango/payaya tree, i put them in a jar (with poked holes), to watch them transform into butterflies. I was hoping for butterflies rather than moths that time. But I forgot all about it until one day it was too late and the butterflies died in the jar. It was horrifying…- but that taught me to be careful with the things God grants us.

Another time, I was in the garden, my sister tells me we could cut an earthworm in half and it’ll still live. So I cut one and she cut one and I forgot what happened to hers, but mine bled A LOT, and after awhile it stopped moving and it was terrible. That taught me that if we are to do an experiment, just do it on one, that is better than trying it on everyone at once lest we are wrong about knowledge and, instead of getting two from one, we get none.

A great philosophy/cure-all as per Johnny Cash, says “Get a rhythm, when you get the blues”!

of course you can reproduce the tales on your blog as long as you mention the author.
Thank you so much for everything

Love
Paulo
