On Picking Beautiful Flowers

2 May 2017No Comment


 

‘Oh look at these flowers! Aren’t they beautiful?’

‘Awww … the colours looks so bright and nice!’

When we see beauty, what do we do?

If we’re talking about flowers, many people somehow have the tendency to … pick and bring them back, in their hands.

They’ll lose their beauty which we admire earlier, because of us
Well. I guess I’m quite ‘picky’ when it comes to picking flowers.

I tell all my kids since they’re little:

If we spot beautiful flowers, enjoy the sight and smell, but we must leave them alone.

Because, once we pick them, they’ll soon die.

Just because we like something, it doesn’t mean we can kill it.

They’ll lose their beauty which we admire earlier, because of us.

(Well, unless you’re standing in a field where there are hundreds and thousands of wild flowers around, then creating a little bouquet for Mommy would be nice =)

I know all this talk may sound simple, but I strongly believe little talks like these will build the children’s mindset and sets of values (that they need to care for nature, and not just do whatever they want, simply because they’d like to do it), which they’ll carry with them till they’re adults.
