i think it means dont show off what you got so others will be jealous. failing that, i think it means 'dont eat too much butter'.

It means surrender at the first sign of adversity and then spend the rest of your life passive aggressively bitching about it.

Greetings,

It's from an old French fable where a butterfly was like "i'm soooo amaziiiiiing" while the cricket was like chill and humble and ugly, and then some schoolkids came into the forest and caught all the butterflies, smashing and destroying them. Cricket continued to be alive.

The author was likely influenced by the french revolution

The Japanese version is, "The nail that stands up gets pounded down." Having people know who you are sucks. You can't go to any public place without being accosted by someone either wanting to kiss your ass, get something from you, or attack you. People will show up at your house uninvited, call you, and send you unhinged correspondence. Have had small doses of this a couple of times and while the ass kissing part can be temporarily pleasurable, the balance of it is overwhelmingly negative. Anonymity is great! Tnx xo.

My understanding is that the French say this in the context of wealthy people avoiding letting others know how wealthy they are. I generally agree in that context.
