Queen Bees and So-Called Butterflies

Queen Bees and So-Called Butterflies

 

Many stories have been written about lessons learned from the saying, "The grass is greener on the other side." The reality remains...that, quite often what is over there is weed-choked, not being watered or consistently cared for, resulting in a huge mistake.

 

The person who strayed most likely is not welcome back either. What started out as a so-called butterfly turned out to be a flying cockroach instead, sucking the existing life out of anything it encounters, turning it into refuse, then on to the next greatest thing.

 

That's gotta sting! 🐝 🐝 🐝

 

So, my advice is: Appreciate what is before you. Don’t lose a Queen Bee over so-called Butterflies, they’re actually Flying Cockroaches. 🤣 Lettuce spray!

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! rarely is the grass greener on the other side, and butterflies are rarely worth chasing.

Wanda, your analogy of "Queen Bees and So-Called Butterflies" offers a strong lesson in appreciating what you have. The image of fleeting butterflies turning into troublesome "flying cockroaches" effectively conveys the potential mistake of chasing after something that seems better but ultimately isn't. Your advice to value the "Queen Bee" before you resonates! And "Lettuce spray!" made me chuckle.

My grandfather was lured by one of those so-called butterfly's, George Souto but she was a flying cockroach. He sent her packing 6 months later because she wanted his money more than his company! My grandmother had already moved on and he remained alone for the rest of his life.

Thankfully, honest and true relationships exist, Dennis Neal. Otherwise, there would be a HUGE infestation of those flying cockroaches everywhere!

Hello Wanda - "over there, over there" is unspecified.  For the green grass and for much that covers many sorts of things.

I am fond of butterflies, but not so much flying cockroaches, haha.  I don't think I have even seen a flying cockroach, but I have heard of them, haha.

Being happily satisfied has so many advantages, Michael Jacobs. It does not require checking out someone else's meadows but more beneficial to nurture our own!

Flying cockroaches are opportunists, Brian England and will invade when least expected!

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! You have a true gift for telling a story and turning people into fantastic characters. Oops, or is it my imagination running away with me?  Sorry but I was waving these flying bugs away - have an awesome day Wanda

Glad you enjoyed the short story, Hannah Williams. In life, it's important to distinguish them apart. A butterfly will take what it needs and off it goes to a destination while the flying cockroach takes full advantage and refuses to leave!
