Everyone will certainly experience a situation and conditions that are not easy to live with, if the situation and conditions can not be resolved then the decision comes. Though all efforts and efforts have been made, still did not get the expected results are much better.
This morning I was sitting in my backyard and saw a butterfly stop on one of the leaves, and in my heart, I asked if it had ever experienced despair. Immediately I thought a butterfly can experience despair, the process of becoming beautiful can be initiated by that despair.
Then I thought what exactly is despair and how should I respond to it? As Always Sometimes I have to learn myself from what I see and feel.
Despair is one of the difficulties to be able to feel the beauty and happiness in life, caused by the expectation of a life that wants to be much better and the situation of getting a safe state for them.

For example, I am a person who has high expectations in my life, and to get that I have fought a lot and kept trying. But the results did not match my expectations and reality, failure after failure presented a sense of hopelessness in me and was certainly uncomfortable to think about and for me to pass.
At such times I seemed to stop pursuing what I expected, all motivation was gone and there was no longer any encouragement for me to pursue those expectations again. Even though I know and believe that a failure is a situation that we get from the outside that does not have any meaning, I give meaning to a failure that I get. The meaning of failure is actually how we can get up and learn from a failure and keep trying to try again and chase that Hope back without having to give up.
From the sight of the butterflies I saw today, there was a lesson in the beauty she had. The metamorphosis that occurred in her starting from a long effort to produce such beauty without having to despair.
That is why I believe that despair only leads us to complicated and prolonged thinking situations that can waste time and drain emotions and inhibit great potential, which can end up harming us.
Finally, I conclude that the final despair is present from our mistakes in addressing the meaning of failure, when in fact failure is a process of metamorphosis towards the beautiful expectations we want. So deal with it wisely.
