Synopsis

We have to be grateful! We have to be grateful for everything which happens with us, as everything in its essence is good. In the case of this painting, a butterfly is grateful to the dew drop, because the water always gives life. So here we have the butterfly and the dew drop as symbols of two sides - one which gives life and the other, which accepts the life with gratitude.
