They could not stop the butterfly is best for pondering and/or reflection, especially during distressful and uncomfortable situations like this lines in one of the essays: "In life, we worry about what kind of food we eat and what type of clothes we wear. We cry about the love we lost, and we don't cherish the love we have."
