A Unique World

"The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness." -St. Terese de Lisieux

This quote can be interpreted in many ways. In literal terms this quote means that the roses and lilies of spring are not the only two flowers that make spring a unique and beautiful season. It is the simple and sweet flowers that you can find all over the earth that makes spring what it is. You can take this quote and leave it at that and not go any deeper,but when I read this quote the first thing that came to my mind was life in the society we live in. The lilies and roses can be replaced with famous people and the violets and daisies can be replaced with all common day people like us. Everyone knows that it would be amazing if they were famous and could be like certain sports players, actors, musicians, and politicians. I would have to agree to a certain extent, but really think about what would happen to the world if everyone was famous? It will eventually come down to the point that everyone is so famous that nobody is famous. This means that if we are all famous who would be our fans? What about supporters? Who would go to our games, and concerts and see our movies? Nobody would. Now I am not saying that there cannot be famous people in the world, but it is also the little people that are just important because they are who make those people famous. The little people also make up more of the country in order for it to work. They are our firefighters, policemen, teachers, doctors, lawyers and many more that help our day to day lives happen. Without all of these people, the world, like spring, would not be as beautiful, unique, interesting, and diverse as it is today. Everybody plays their own important role that comes together with everyone else and makes the world complete.
