GROWING UP AT ONE’S PACE

GROWING UP AT ONE'S PACE

“Once, a man noticed that a butterfly was struggling to emerge from its cocoon, but too slowly for his taste, so he tried to help it by blowing.
And indeed, the warmth of his breath served to accelerate the process. But what came out of the cocoon was not a butterfly, but a creature with broken wings.
When it comes to grow up, we cannot speed up the process, because all that can result out of it is its interruption.”

Have a happy Sunday.
