"You see this little hole? This moth's just about to emerge. It's in
there right now, struggling. It's digging it's way through the thick
hide of the cocoon. Now, I could help it - take my knife, gently widen
the opening, and the moth would be free - but it would be too weak to
survive. Struggle is nature's way of strengthening it."
