You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It's not fair to them.
What is so marvelous about living today is that it is possible to extend, like a flower, spreading petals in all directions.
What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?
You cannot disturb the tiniest petal of a flower without the troubling of a distant star.
