Often a person is similar to a caterpillar that has gone into a cocoon. The person is in a cocoon where at first they felt safe, but eventually, as they started to grow, the person began to feel that the cocoon was limiting and constraining. Imagine having to stay in the small area in a cocoon without being able to see the big world out there!
Thus, one of the tasks we have as humans is to help others, gently, to come out of the cocoon that they have made for themselves, or that others have made for them.
Eventually a beautiful butterfly emerges. With the help of others or God, we emerge from our cocoon. Aren't we all in a cocoon in some areas of our lives?
As we emerge from the cocoon we become more and more the person God wants us to be. Emerging from the cocoon, and helping others to emerge, makes us, in a sense, more human than we ever were before.
