“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming”

Pablo Neruda

Simplified Meaning:

Even if you try to stop something from happening, some things are inevitable and will occur no matter what. For example, you might destroy a garden full of flowers, but that won't stop the season of spring from arriving and new flowers from growing. This idea can relate to life situations as well. If someone tries to prevent change or progress, that won't stop it from eventually happening. Imagine you're trying to avoid growing older; no matter what you do, you can't stop time from passing. Similarly, if a person in history had tried to stop an important movement, like the fight for equal rights, the desire for justice and fairness would still push forward. So, if something is meant to happen, it will find a way. It’s better to embrace changes and new beginnings rather than trying to hold on to the past.
