Do you feel bad getting flowers? Read this analogy and answer please.?

I have always felt bad for flowers living and growing and then being cut to entertain my room for a week or so, and I am off to work, etc., and can't even enjoy them long. It is also an analogy of a painful time in my life.





The flower sprouts, it seems so shy.


The leaves expand beneath the light.


A new life born for future despair,


But no one claimed that life was fair.


A flower of innocence knows no fear -


but then, there is no innocence here.


The flower withers, its substance dries.


It bows its head and quietly dies.





So yeah, I have a dozen roses right now and their heads are bowing and it made me think of this which I wrote about 25 years ago . . . do YOU like getting flowers - or do you feel bad???

Do you feel bad getting flowers? Read this analogy and answer please.?
Yup love flowers. Everything dies - it's the nature of life. Do you eat meat? Wear leather shoes? chop trailing branches from trees? Swat flies?





You're not killing the plant and the flowers would have died in a few weeks anyway. Plants don't bloom all the year round and by cutting them off you're enabling the plant to grow stronger and healthier.
Reply:Wow~wonderful analogy. My inital answer to your question was "yes" I love getting flowers. However, after reading your telling words, I seem to feel a bit saddened by thoughts of receiving flowers. Granted, flowers are beautiful and should be enjoyed, just like people. They are going to die anyway at some point, so why not make someone happy while they are here?

Reply:true if you think that way.
Reply:This is a great analogy. To understand anything with life we must first realize that all things must come to and end. It is an inevitable part of existence. So a flower that grows must someday lose its life for whatever the reason maybe. Every time a baby is born someone else has died. For flowers people give them not only as gifts but also as memorials i.e funerals. So life and death are a circular cycle of anything that lives. I wouldn't feel to bad if I were you, flowers must also die for other flowers to be born.
