There is a quote I like that says something like “the butterfly only remembers its days as a butterfly, never as the caterpillar”.

Point is, as we mature and inevitably change (with most becoming “normal” over time), we forget the people we once were and the beliefs we once had and view these as completely alien.

So try to be forgiving or at least understanding of people who are or think differently from you. You can still think they’re nuts, and not want to have anything to do with them, but maybe they’re just still caterpillars like you once were.

And remember, maybe it’s you who is still the caterpillar.
