You know what a Marriage is?

In a very simple terms, Marriage is the act of plucking out a beautiful flower and placing it in a vase to die.

You’d be attracted by the smell, the beauty, its colors and you’d want to bring it home.

But alas! You forget that the flower was what it was coz it had all the right environment. When you pluck it, and place it in a vase, it doesn’t receive the nutrients, the atmosphere, the humidity, the warmth, the bees and butterflies, the moisture and most importantly, the care of the gardener and its own roots. It just sits there, unmoving, in stagnant water to enhance the beauty of your living room. May be if it came from strong roots and healthy environment, it will last longer than most flowers, but eventually it is going to die.

You can’t even go back to its original plant and fix it back. You can try clearing the guilt by doing so, but does your conscience agree?! The plant won’t accept it. Deny it as if it never was a part of the plant. Were you up for the care and nourishment of the flower when you plucked it?!

Unless, you don’t put it in a vase and conscientiously stem propagate it with other plants in your patio, you end up losing it. Perhaps, this exercise will take time and effort, both on your part as well as the flower’s, but you surely won’t loose your flower. Contrary, it will grow its own roots and give more flowers.

So, next time you get a flower be conscious before you pluck it!
