The butterfly

When the butterfly departs from the cocoon - and gets wings - everything it loses, all its wrappings, is nothing; it loses nothing. It is all part of God's plan and order.

Imagine a young person and how he would like to live. Now imagine a dying person, how he would liked to have lived. You will discover they have opposite desires. The young person desires for this life (these seventy years or so). The dying person desires for eternity or that he had lived for eternity.
