“What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.”
— Laozi
Simplified Meaning:
When a caterpillar's life is about to change, it might seem like everything is coming to an end for it. The caterpillar goes into a cocoon, and if it could think like humans, it might think its life was over. However, this change is not bad. From the outside, everyone else sees this as an amazing transformation. The caterpillar doesn't end; it turns into a beautiful butterfly. This shows how what seems like the end of things can actually be a new beginning. For example, when you graduate from school, it might feel like you are leaving your safe, familiar life behind. But, instead, you are starting a new and exciting chapter in your life, just like the caterpillar becoming a butterfly. So, when you face changes or endings, remember they can lead to wonderful new opportunities.
