One of my favorite passages in this book is the story of the butterfly.

I forgot it π
But yeah, most of the stories are cute and I imagine them being acted out in a play
In short, it is about him waking up from a dream that he was a butterfly, only to turn around and essentially ask βhow do I know Iβm not a butterfly dreaming im a human?β
I think itβs a beautiful parable. One that addresses the nature of the self, and fundamentally questions the means at which we self identify.
I use θε parables in my book often. There is a lot of wisdom in there.
