Tonight I go into my silky womb a beautiful caterpillar to emerge tomorrow a dirty beige moth of no consequence. Ta fucking Da!!! For that is really the way it is. Not everyone can be the president of the USA or an astronaut . Figure out what you can be and most importantly want to be.
You know this whole idea, this complete lie that is sold to us by society that you are not beautiful until you conform to the struggle for wealth, the collection of items, greed lust and power and control Then you are successful. It's manufactured consent. Work as a machine to serve the state If you work hard enough you will be successful. People work hard everyday. They never end up financially successful. Hopefully that was not their intent, money and power but contentment. Individuality.
As of me the dirty beige moth, well I am of consequence. No more than any other moth but maybe a little more than a Monarch of Wall Street

It does seem like most people have fallen for the lie of someday becoming a beautiful, winged creature in order to get through their days of hard work, assured that there will be a great reward waiting for them at the end of it all. Manufactured "content" might be more like it... They ignore the everyday rewards that are the gifts of life and love which are all around them. What they have really done is traded the most beautiful present moments for an entire life of wait and see. Then, if when they emerge from their sleep, they have beautiful, colorful wings, their struggle will have all been worth it. If they don't, then they will feel as if they have misspent their life.
The truly content caterpillar will emerge from his cocoon to find that he has sprouted dirty beige wings, and will marvel in the fact that he has been given the gift of flight.
Truly well said. Exactly. You me or the caterpillar. It's about being true to thyself, being grateful, motivated in the now. Content with who we are regardless of what we are told to be.
