Two adages come to mind. One has to do with how men, hard men with ambition, vision and a solid work ethic build empires. Then they hand the empires to their idiot sons who flush it all down the toilet. That's where America is destined in, what? 25 years? The other is an allegory.
A man saw a butterfly struggling to emerge from a cocoon. He thought he would do the butterfly a favor by cutting the cocoon open, but the creature came out without fully formed limbs and died. The man later learned that it is the struggle to emerge that makes the creature strong. And without the struggle, it dies.
