Crisis (ancient Greek - decision, turning point, outcome) - a revolution, a time of difficult transitional state, a sharp turn, a difficult situation. Pupa - a stage of development of insects with complete transformation (beetles, butterflies, dipterans, Hymenoptera, etc.); at the pupal stage, the larva forms into an adult insect - an imago. Once upon a time there lived a caterpillar, chewed succulent leaves all day long, and crawled. And she felt good, very good. What else do you need for happiness? Sun, air, food! But then one day she became so worried about something that she lost her appetite. She wanted to hide from everyone, hide, go somewhere, and she began to build herself a cramped and dark house. Other caterpillars tell her: “What are you talking about, you need treatment, you have apathy, depression, there is a good doctor...”. But she doesn’t listen to anyone, suddenly public opinion doesn’t matter so much to her. And she went to her house. He sits there and understands that he no longer wants to go back, he inherited the model of that former life from his parents, but he doesn’t know how to live in his own way, to build his own models. She thought for so long, did not dare to go out into the unknown, but as soon as she remembered the constant gluttony, she felt so bad! And so I decided - go ahead! The body asks, it is bursting somewhere, it is too tight for it to sit in the chrysalis. She listened to her body and decided to trust it. With great effort, she began to make her way outside through the narrow crack of her house. It was very painful and difficult, something big on her back did not allow her to crawl easily the way she did it before... She did not regret it, you can guess what happened next. There are three scenarios for the development of this situation: Caterpillar for life Pupa for life (stuck, called ) Butterfly (lived through a crisis, wanted differently, dared, coped). The word "crisis" written in Chinese consists of two characters: one means "danger" and the other means "opportunity". John Fitzgerald Kennedy There is always a risk of not coping with a crisis and there is always the possibility of becoming a butterfly. Although, in our time, you can become a butterfly very simply, without risking anything, without making much external or internal effort. We make butterflies from caterpillars!!!
