The Parable of the Caterpillars

Once there was a very beautiful garden where various flowering plants abound. The plants produce various flowers with their different colors, shapes and sizes making the garden very much attractive.

Then one day, the caretakers noticed that many leaves have been eaten up by insects called caterpillars. They reported the matter to the owner of the garden and asked his permission to kill the caterpillars.

However, the owner of the garden, instead of telling them to proceed, told them, "Let them live for a little longer. If they prove to be real threats to the beauty of this garden, then you may proceed with your plan."

So the caretakers carefully watched and observed what will happen in the next few days. Then one day, they noticed that the caterpillars were nowhere to be found anymore. Instead, the garden was now full of beautifully colored butterflies which added attraction to the garden.

How about you? What is your beautiful garden in life? What are the caterpillars that destroy your plants? Do these caterpillars prove to be colorful butterflies afterwards?
