Imagine a playground.. lush and green with plenty of field to play.
Just be careful though, there are larger and more dangerous entities lurking around. They generally mind their own business. Occasionally, in this magical place where you can do or say anything you want, large crumbs of food are dropped onto the lush green grass.
Be careful though, some of these larger and sometimes dangerous entities will notice you. They might even take offense to what you have to say.
Not to worry though, sometimes these larger beings are quiet generous and even benevolent to speak too. Occasionally they will break off a large chunk of what they are eating and give it to you!
You look up to those creatures and hope some day to be just like them..
Now imagine, you sometimes complain that you wish you were the giant creature who dropped the crumb. You complain and wish it were to be you!
But then other grasshoppers hear what you have to say, and one angrily shouts,
"shhhhh, know your place and just be happy with what you get", and they huff and puff and look back in disgust with one last word, "we can't be friends anymore!"
Feeling upset with yourself other grasshoppers see your pain and put their little tarsal segments around you.
One friend says, "Don't worry, I kinda know how you feel.. but I'm not sure why that other grasshopper got all upset! "
As the lights go dim and all creatures rest, we look forward to another day. The grass will continue to grow, and even new friends will come to play tomorrow.
Goodnight my friends, see you tomorrow!
