Angelica Mashkovskaya. - Why don't we humans ... (№ 408619)

- What we humans lack is patience. I realized this only after exchanged the seventh decade. This is very accurately conveyed by the parable of the butterfly. We, when we notice a pupa, can't wait to see a butterfly, only a few wait for the natural sequence, but basically, having caught how hard an insect breaks into the light, they hurry to help him by breaking the cocoon. But due to the fact that the butterfly was deprived of this necessary struggle, its wings remain weak and cannot raise the body of God's creature, because of which it can only crawl, and then, without feeling the taste of flight, dies. If it's hard for you, Miss, know that your own wings are gaining the necessary strength so that you can complete some kind of metamorphosis. Just do not forget that the doll can not see itself from the outside, it needs someone who will tell it how it looks. That is why we need friends and, of course, loved ones - their eyes are a true mirror, in it you can see yourself without the tinsel that we ourselves hang around. But don't look at any people, only at those you trust. And the rest are those who, out of envy or meanness, or maybe just out of bad temper or even boredom, will try to break your cocoon of personality.
- But how do you determine who's who?
- As soon as you feel when interacting with someone, as something presses on your head, or even squeezes from all sides - this is violence. Just like if someone takes a pupa of a real butterfly and squeezes in their fingers.
- But there are situations when a person puts himself in a frame and it is simply vital to forcibly extract him from there.
- That's correct. But in order not to become a prisoner of oneself, you need to know one effective medicine.
- Which one?
- Honesty with yourself. Then you will never miss the moment when you squeeze yourself in the grip. If you keep in touch with the inner self, you will "hear" how the walls of the cocoon of personality crack. People are peculiar creatures, they can easily destroy themselves from the inside, looking for those to blame in a particular situation, instead of reconciling themselves first of all. I see it as running behind the shadows.
- Just not to stop, so as not to look back and see what he has done. It's always easier to slam a door to a cluttered room than to clean it up.
- Exactly...
