Life is a bed of roses

"... is never a bed of roses'

I am sure we have heard this before somewhere sometime by someone.

Anyways, people always say that life is never a bed of roses, but somehow, I was wondering,

why is it not?

I guess they neglected the one thing which roses have, THORNS!!

People only see the flower and its beauty, but forgot the thorns that are there together with the stems. No wonder they always say life is never a bed of roses.

Life has always been a bed of roses.

The rose has beautiful petals with the sweetest aroma. It's beautiful colors with the velvet-ike texture of the carefully shaped petals make this life a lot more beautiful. take a deep breath and breathe in the soothing scent of the flower, it enlightens our soul and keep us looking at the brighter things in life.

- The flower itself, the petals are what we always want in life, and everything that we desire for, and everything that we look for. It is full of good things, only good, and it is always nice. It keeps us moving forward and keep us striving to be better and better. These petals bring us the joy and comfort and peace. But, these petals will somehow fall and someday the flower will be removed from the soil,and lose its essence for surviving. but one thing that can reduce its chance of being killed are the thorns.

The thorns prick and hurt our fingers when we touch them, they make us try to keep away from
them, and not feel the pain. It makes us want to remove it and just be able to get the flower as easily as possible. But roses never grow without thorns.

- The thorns represent the things that are unpleasant in our lives, things that make us hurt and cry, things that make us feel the pain whenever we get near them. The thorns are the experiences which we pray day and night not to have, did not have. However, as the roses without thorns are pretty unlikely to survive the cruelty of humans to remove them from their source of life, people without these bad experiences are as unlikely to survive in this world which is made of darkness and evil lurking around. The bad things to us are blessings in disguise, and it is meant for us to learn to grow and be able to live a life which will not push us down but lift us up.

: Everything is always about us, how we see things. If we focus on the thorns, we know we will get hurt, and will not get the beautiful rose which is there. We will lose out on a lot of good opportunities in life and those good things will just pass us by. However, is we focus on the rose itself, and admire the beauty that it gives, we will stretch forth and get the rose despite of the pain it might cause us. In life, we must always look out to things which are better and always see the brighter side of life. Each and everytime when we see the good things that are waiting for us, the bad will just somehow seem so tiny and insignificant.We are here to strive to be better, and we cannot bear to live a life which is miserable because that life was never meant for us.

Carpe Diem, it was said, live life to the fullest.

Always know that somewhere after the storm, there will be a rainbow, and the rainbow is the thing we look forward to. The strom will pass, and why ponder and dwell on it, dwell on things that are not there anymore?

Think...

Just think...
