"A rose is supposed to be the representation
of love. If that's true then why does a rose have thorns that cut you and why
does it have to die." Amber, a friend of mine once asked me that a long
time ago and it took me a long time to finally answer this question. It takes a
long time because love is a very powerful marvel. I believe a simply "I
love you" answers a lot of complicated questions. When there is a great
truth to be discovered, then you must first experience this before you can see
the truth. Here is why a rose represents love, but also has thorns and must
die.
A rose represents love, but has thorns because like
being in love, it must be handled carefully. You need to treat it with respect
and be careful not to mishandle it. You can't be careless handling the one you
hold just because there may be roses with less thorns. If you do then
eventually, you will be cut and when that happens, you’re scarred for life. You
will have a scar that will take a lifetime to heal and never go away, that cut
will always remind you of your loss. That is why the rose has its thorns.
Now why does a rose die? That's the hardest part of
the question, but I remembered everyone I ever loved and it came to me. A rose
must die because love must be cherished. If love was eternal and always around
then the inevitable outcome is that it would be taken for granted. Love should
never be taken for granted. Like with people, roses must be loved while we have
them because everything that is born must die, so we must appreciate the time
we have with them. A rose is the perfect representation of love and these are
my reasons why I believe so.
