Why do we fall???

"I Choose The Mountain" by Howard Simon

The low lands call 

I am tempted to answer 

They are offering me a free dwelling 

Without having to conquer

The massive mountain makes its move 

Beckoning me to ascend 

A much more difficult path 

To get up the slippery bend

I cannot choose both 

I have a choice to make 

I must be wise 

This will determine my fate

I choose, I choose the mountain 

With all its stress and strain 

Because only by climbing 

Can I rise above the plane

I choose the mountain 

And I will never stop climbing 

I choose the mountain 

And I shall forever be ascending

I choose the mountain

Why Challanges/Difficulties are neccessary ?

Once a small gap appeared in the cocoon, through which the butterfly had to appear. A man, who accidentally passed by, stopped and watched how the butterfly was trying to get out of the cocoon. It took a lot of time, the butterfly was trying very hard, and the gap was as little as before. It seemed that the power would leave the butterfly soon. 

Then a man decided to help the butterfly. He took a penknife and cut the cocoon. The butterfly immediately got out, but her body was weak and feeble, and the wings were barely moving.

A man continued to watch at the butterfly, thinking that now her wings would spread and she would fly. However, that did not happen.

The rest of her life the butterfly had to drag her weak body and wings that weren’t spread. She was unable to fly, because a man who wanted to help her did not realize that an effort to enter through the narrow gap of the cocoon was necessary for the butterfly, so that the life-giving fluid would move from the body to the butterfly’s wings and that the butterfly could fly. Life forced the butterfly to leave her shell hardly, so that it would become stronger and would be able to grow and develop. 

If we were allowed to live without meeting difficulties, we would be via-ble. Life gives us challenges to make us stronger.
