A biology teacher was teaching his students how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. He told the students that in the next couple of hours, the butterfly would struggle to come out of the cocoon. But no one should help the butterfly. Then he left.
The students were waiting and it happened. The butterfly painfully struggled to get out of the cocoon and one of the students took pity on it and decided to help the butterfly out of the cocoon against the advice of his teacher. He broke the cocoon to help the butterfly so it didn't have to struggle anymore. But shortly afterwards the butterfly died, much to the agony of all students.
When the teacher returned, he was told what happened.
On a grim note, he explained, “By helping the butterfly, you have actually killed it, because it is against the law of nature. The struggle to come out of the cocoon actually helps the butterfly to develop and strengthen its wings. You deprived the butterfly of its struggle and the butterfly died. In your desire to help the butterfly, you actually killed her!”
Moral of the story: A smooth sea has never made a skillful mariner. …………………….everything is difficult before it becomes easy.
