Breast Cancer Butterfly
I imagine that all of you know by now what is the symbol for breast cancer: the pink ribbon. People from all over the world recognize this symbol, even if it is stylized on some things and they know that a part of the money or even all the money resulted from the sale will be transfered to a fund that helps breast cancer patients or support breast cancer fight by financing the research and the experiments done by doctors and researchers who want to find a cure for breast cancer or at least better ways to fight this terrible disease.

In time this symbol was combined with different other symbols - like the butterfly that suggests the human fraility and also the hope that keeps all the women with breast cancer still alive. When you watch a butterfly you will first notice its beauty and the wings, the fact that it can fly and people envy butterflies for that

Then you realize that it is enough to stretch your hand and squeeze it in your hand to kill it, so it is really fragile and its life in those moments depends on our mood, on a thought or a change of thought. I guess we can very well put ourselves in the butterfly's position: apparently we are strong and beautiful being, reaching for the skies with our rockets and space shuttles, but it takes only a second to become so fragile and have our lives threatened by breast cancer and all our existence transformed in a battle for life.
