oh you pretty little thing
every lunar new year, my father would spend hundreds of dollars on cute little potted flowers and put them around our front door.
they'll look pretty and beautify our doorstep for about 2 weeks, after which they rot and die. we'll then desperately water and fertilize them, hoping that they'll somehow live again.
but it always fails and there'll be a bunch of rotting plants at our doorstep for about a month, until my maid gets un-lazy enough to throw them all away.
many things in life are like the flowers; they're all nice and pretty at the beginning, and then start to rot and die after a while. often, the rotting process even takes up a longer time than the pretty beginnings because we're unwilling to just give up and move on.
the thing is, why bother buying the flowers when you know they're gonna die soon anyway? is 2 weeks' worth of beauty enough to cover up the month of shit? and then you throw the flowers out and try to forget that they ever existed.
the moral of the story is that we should always invest in good plants, so they won't die and you won't have to deal with the shittiness of it all. or if they die, discard them immediately so they won't leave a sour smell at your door.
