Beauty is the eye of the beholder.  It has been there since the 3rd century BC.  Someone should tell Beauty that it is okay to leave and go somewhere else.

A garden looks nice with flowers, but a garden does not look not nice with flowers and weeds.  Flowers are not any better than weeds.  I do not have the right to tell a weed, “You do not belong here.  I am going to kill you.”

I do not know the origin of this attitude about weeds.  I have always had it.  I always felt sorry for weeds because they have as much right to exist as flowers.  The same applies to bugs in my place.  When I see one, I do not kill it.  I find some way of escorting it out.

If I had a garden, then I would let it grow wild.  The same applies to a lawn.  Cutting grass is an assault, and pulling weeds is murder.

So, do not ask me to cut your grass and weed your garden.  Some of my best friends are green.
