Dear Wisdom:

The butterflies … there they are. They live for how long, I don’t know. Not for long. So you see them for a few days before they die. I suppose. You saw butterflies on TV, then you go outside and you see butterflies. But you also see ants and other insects and animals but in your brain, there is the very recent memory of having seen butterflies, not ants. So you go outside and you see ants but you are not paying attention. It doesn’t even register that you ants are in your sight. You don’t pay attention. But you see butterflies and with the fresh memory, they register. Plus butterflies are bigger and they fly and catch the eye more than ants anyway.

No, it means nothing about you, no sign from god or the universe.

The truth is not in signs that the… Universe/ god is sending you… The truth is in what is CLEARLY in front of you. Why look for vague signs when you have clear information in front of you?

So you see butterflies. What is the information there? A guess: The Universe is trying to tell you to get out of your figurative cocoon and fly. Could that be a message?

You already know that you are “afraid to live”- this is how you titled this thread. If the butterflies are a message that you need to get out of the cocoon of fear where you are imprisoned-like, well you already know that!
