Read:

the blue butterfly

There was a widower who lived with his two curious and intelligent daughters. The girls always did a lot of questions. Some he knew how to answer, some he didn't. As he intended to provide them with the best education, he sent the girls to vacation with a sage who lived on top of a hill. The sage always answered questions without hesitation. Impatient with the sage, the girls decided to invent a question that he could not answer.

Then one of them appeared with a beautiful blue butterfly that she would use to play a trick on the sage.

- What will you do? asked the sister.

"I'll hide the butterfly in my hands and ask if it's alive or dead." If he says she's dead, I'll open my hands and let her fly. If he says she's alive, I'll squeeze her and crush her. And so any answer the sage gives us will be wrong!

The two girls then went to meet the sage, who was meditating.

"I have a blue butterfly here." Tell me, sage, is she alive or dead?

Calmly the sage smiled and replied:

- It depends on you. She is in your hands.

This is our life, our present and our future.

We should not blame anyone when something goes wrong. We are responsible for what we achieve or not. Our life is in our hands, like the butterfly. It's up to us to choose what to do with it.
