“By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower”

Rabindranath Tagore

Simplified Meaning:

When you pick the petals off a flower, you take away its beauty instead of appreciating it as a whole. Think about a beautiful rose in a garden. If you start pulling off each petal, the flower will no longer look pretty. Just enjoying the flower without tearing it apart lets you truly experience its beauty. This idea also applies to people and relationships. Trying to change or control someone to be the way you want can ruin what makes them special. Instead, appreciate and enjoy people for who they are. In life, it's important to value things as they are rather than trying to take them apart or change them.
