Whose Struggle

What does a butterfly have to do with the human mind? Meet Maggie, an older woman, and mother who is about to identify.

Maggie is not as rich as a millionaire or as poor as a homeless man. He lived an overall comfortable life. It was even better when a pretty girl came up to him. She and her husband make sure that their son meets his needs and that they can always rest on the beach every year.

Maggie is her husband's business partner. Both have different roles that create balance. One day, her husband's business was hit by a devastating plague and the business ended within three years. Her husband has to change completely and longs to pursue the dream of a new profession. She was happy for him and fully supported him, but the money was not coming yet.

Maggie began to feel guilty for not contributing any income. It's been a long time since he worked outside the home and had to work for someone else. You can't say he's scared, but he was still sure everything would turn out well. She started looking for a job and filling out the applications was a bit difficult for her, especially the part that required a job recommendation. Keep in mind that she has been working with her husband alone for almost 20 years. He felt like nothing mattered because he never called for an interview.

At the time he was looking for a job, his mother was safer than ever before and was hospitalized for a week. When Maggie's mother returned home, she became her mother's assistant one day a week. It was she who shopped, exchanged plates, vacuumed, and did other things her mother could no longer do. Of course, her mother would pay for her time and hard work, but she still felt she had to find another source of income.

Finally, one of the first applications he made came up. He had a flying interview and was told he was "exactly" what they were looking for. Even if it's only part-time, it's exactly what he wants. It was important for her to be home when her daughter returned from school. He was told to contact them when the plan was ready. Knowing he had a job, he was happy and productive again.

However, within a few weeks, he received an e-mail stating that the company had changed jobs to a full-time position and that he was not qualified. Maggie collapsed. He felt betrayed and felt lying against him. She was alone that night while her husband and daughter went out for the night. He accepts solitude and wants to drown his grief in a whirlpool with bubbles.

As she knew he would, she began to cry, slowly at first only because of the severe pain that was being rejected. Finally, three long years of struggle came to him. Then he got angry; angry at each of the circumstances that brought him there, at God himself. He shouted a lot and shouted, "What do you want me to do?" He felt that God had forsaken him.

When she could no longer cry, she fell to the ground and stopped. At the time, she had the quiet idea of ​​offering other seniors help with home care.

With another computer talent, he printed several leaflets and cards and distributed them to his church, bought and even placed a small newspaper ad. He bought two new clients during the week. Now, even though he is not the CEO of a large company or a powerful player, he feels happy and productive again. So, did God leave him? Let's look for lessons and answers in nature.

Before the butterfly could emerge from its pupa, it had to wage many battles. Yes, trouble. Each time he flies to escape, the acids are removed from his wings. When someone comes and opens his balaclava, the sorrel butterfly dies. The fight is necessary for the butterfly to survive. Then in silence, when the battle is over, the butterfly comes out and shares its beauty with the world.

We as humans are no different. There are times when we have to fight to get out of grief, which includes sadness, fear, and anger. Only at this moment are we tired, and we are still beginning to hear the Universe whispering to us.
