THE FIGHT
Education leads to evolution. Broadens the mind to take on a mystical journey called life. With a plethora of expectations and fierce ambitions, children bump into adulthood. Understanding of their surroundings makes them realize the value of everything. Now their attention is very specific. They learn to segregate people on the basis of their nationality, culture, religion as per their own convenience.
While pursuing their ambitions, they maneuver several important skills. Some expert in the art of lying and concealment and show their true colors corresponding to their malicious intent. Perhaps such people are way too much driven by their vile instinct. Most adults lack the vibrance in their smile. Perturbed by thoughts, anxiety, despondency and desolation in life. All these take a toll on the priceless smile that existed once upon a time. Ever wondered why this happens.

A Changing Font
Scientific studies of metamorphosis can be traced back to late Aristotle. Although Aristotle did not use the term metamorphosis, his scientific interests included observation of changes in the form of insects, a process that we now call metamorphosis (Llyod 1996). Moreover, life-changing transitions are were an important part of the non-scientific Greek culture, as described in their myths. In this regard, we owe much to the Roman poet Ovid, who collected various Greek myths into the poem “Metamorphosis” (Martin 2004). This work stimulated the imaginations of many poets and philosophers for almost 2000 years. In these myths, metamorphosis could involve such things as humans changing into animals or inanimate objects or animals changing into humans. In one story, Ovid describes the transformation of Daphne into a tree to escape Apollo. In another story, Ovid describes how Bacchus gave King Midas the extremely golden touch.

Metamorphosis is a complete life cycle from larva to adult for many creatures. Yes, technically by science we Humans, do not go through metamorphosis, like amphibians, and insects go through, but we do have very similar life stages.
Most adults lack the vibrance in their smile. Perturbed by thoughts, anxiety, despondency and desolation in life. All these take a toll on the priceless smile that existed once upon a time. Ever wondered why this happens.
Their benign innocence cannot distinguish between people on the basis of nationality, culture and their social status. Truth and lies make no sense to them and they don’t even ask for all justifications. Happiness makes them smile and vulnerability makes them cry. They don’t exercise pragmatism and neither do they openly flaunt their uninhibited ambition. There is a luxury of being loved by most people around. And they are unaware of the vicious circle of life. Perhaps, the biggest blessing as a child.
