Have we endured transformation like that of the caterpillar
to a butterfly? An epiphany of sorts, altering the persona in incredible and inexplicable ways?
Or an astounding change we observed in another, enough to pronounce: ‘Look at him! A while ago, he had given up
on life. Wanting to slaughter all existence of himself end everything that
connected him to reality; see him now, what a miraculous makeover!’ How did that transition
take place? How does one grow (not merely with age and in size) but in character,
ability and performance?
