This is low effort

Actually that's exactly what happens. A caterpillar is literally transformed into a butterfly inside a chrysalis. It's not a conscious daily effort to progress into a butterfly. It's a biological transformation that essentially destroys the caterpillar and creates a butterfly. When the butterfly emerges, it is basically suddenly waking up as a butterfly.

Non related to this post at all but how do u tag the post with discussion or something because i cant post without it

True but the caterpillar had to survive for its entire life then labor to build the caccoon without being eaten

Sure, but he still died. He basically builds his own casket and then dies in it. Any attempt to analogize this to humans automatically brings with it a requisite belief in an afterlife as that is what a butterfly would have to be analogous to.

But don’t they recognize things from their caterpillar life? Proving that it’s a conscious transformation?

Sometimes people wake up to find they have become large insects. - Kafka

I said this out loud once and no one applauded

So is the entire book it comes from

The beauty of self publishing

Milk and honey?

So what this "motivational" thing is telling us is that to become something beautiful we have to let ourselves be destroyed and remolded into that beautiful thing.

Nope, the brain of the caterpillar is almost entirely consumedduring the process of metamorphosis.

There have been studies that suggest that butterflies retain at least some of their caterpillar memories. I don't think that indicates that it's a conscious transformation, though.

I literally woke up today and I was a butterfly send help.

Hmm, that’s fascinating.

I love this
