Reflection - 58 

It is essential for all of us to realize our role in our community to act our part in a better way. It is important that, what kind of role we are choosing. We all like the natural flowers and it very nice to look on these flowers. The shape, color, fragrance and the beauty of the flowers gives a kind of refreshments in our life. Though the flowers have very less lifespan these flowers give everything that they have within the short period. The real flower has the feelings and emotions. They can even feel of the sunrise, sunset, day and night. That’s why we see the flowers open their leaf during the day and close it during the night. In other words it has the impact of the natural elements. Finley at the end it sacrifices its own life and offers to the world and melts with the mud. Here we see a great sacrificing mentality.

There are other kinds of flowers which are of plastic or handmade flowers. It has a long lifespan compare to the real flowers. It also has the color, shape, and beauty. But the people do not have the attraction towards it, because it has no feelings or emotions. It doesn’t know sun. It doesn’t know the day or night. No natural elements have influence on it. Finely it remains as it is without giving anything to others. Here we find a selfish character.

          My dear brothers this is what happens sometimes in our life too. Many a times we too behave like these plastic flowers, without sharing what we have. Actually we have the qualities of both natural flowers and plastic flowers and if we choose the quality of plastic flowers, surly we will be limited to ourselves, but if we can choose the quality of the natural flowers, that would be the best quality in us and that is out mission too. So let us examine what kind of role we play in our community. Is it the role of a plastic flower or nature flower?
