Perspective

[prince_taehyun]

I was looking through my journal and saw this, so figured.. why not post this in the community as well ?

I stumbled upon this picture and I thought ---
Something so beautiful can be crushed and destroyed just like that, leaving you with nothing but a mess that needs to be cleaned up.

Those were my thoughts. What are yours ?
Open discussion.

Nothing's permanent. Either the flower wilts on its own or it stains someone's hands. I don't really advise squeezing flowers... but between looking at beautiful things and feeling beautiful things, I'd rather feel them. I think, everything we go through, everything we touch, stains us a little. And sometimes we take something beautiful, and hold onto it really tight, and it leaves behind a lot more stain, a 'mess'. But life is messy as it is, and if you go on avoiding touching anything, avoiding ruining anything or making a mess of anything, you're missing out on a lot of color, a lot of texture.

Late comment is late.

Wah ~ I'm looking at you in a new light, Yunhyeong-ah ~

[yunhyeong]

You are..? What'd I do haha

[prince_taehyun]

ㅋㅋ Don't question my thoughts

[yunhyeong]

You didn't say what you thought though!!

[prince_taehyun]

My thoughts are there, already !

[yunhyeong]

But... the new light.. hyung!

[prince_taehyun]

Oh.... You just had nice deep thoughts about it.

[nuchu]

Treat others the way you want them to treat you kind of applies here, doesn't it. Don't crush people's flowers, Taehyunah.

[prince_taehyun]

That's a good way of thinking it.. But you and I both know how much of a bitch I am. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I'll try my best not to crush flowers

[nuchu]

You're nice when you want to though.
Good!

[prince_taehyun]

Only when I want to ㅋ

[smarty]

Sometimes it's better for there to be a mess rather than keeping something with the premise of beauty.

[prince_taehyun]

It's also something one could learn from, hm ?

[ttaekwoon]

Nothing lasts forever no matter how hard you hang on.

[prince_taehyun]

Ah, yes. True. It manages to slip away sometimes.

[ttaekwoon]

Also: Hang on too hard and you risk destroying everything you've created.

[prince_taehyun]

I like this one.

[gwangjustyle]

I think it's interesting that it looks like blood. Reminds you that even plant life is still life that should be respected.

[prince_taehyun]

A bloody flower. Now imagine if the flower had thorns.

[gwangjustyle]

You can't destroy anything without also damaging yourself.

[prince_taehyun]

That's right.

[gwangjustyle]

always consequences -- always stains left on your hands

[alstbrk]

strong grip, even stronger wind
my thoughts were in fractures

[prince_taehyun]

And it works out nicely ㅋㅋ
In what type of sense do you mean wind ?

[alstbrk]

in the most literal sense and nothing metaphoric ㅋㅋ like one of those days in march when the sun shines hot during the day and the wind blows cold it ends up knocking everything down. one of the best weather

[prince_taehyun]

Aaaaah, yes yes.

Namtae~ ♥

Rather than thinking as crushing it wrongfully, doesn't it seem more optimistic to see it as transforming? Because the flower is beautiful in its initial form, it can last throughout history in artwork made by its dye.

[prince_taehyun]

Hyung ♥

I found this picture in a different state of mine back then ㅋㅋ But it can also be optimistic, yeah. That's a nice way to think of it.
