Letter #3: How do You Kill a Butterfly?

Dear Amigo,

How do you kill a butterfly? Simply by helping it out of its chrysalis.

Sometimes, when we try to help, we end up hurting something beyond repair. This principle doesn’t just apply to butterflies. After all, if could be our children, the environment, or an entire culture.

Sometimes the wisest course of action is to do nothing. The problem is: how to do you know when to help (and how to help) and when to sit back and watch?

Sincerely…

…and stay crispy, Amigo,
