Idiom usage

Many people's cocoons are very thick and they wrap themselves too tightly. This cocoon is nothing else. It's a chaos between self-esteem and vanity that is hard to define in ancient times. It's also risky to break it. It's hard to grasp the time. Maybe it's a beautiful butterfly or a disgusting pupa.
