“O Rose thou art sick”
— William Blake
Simplified Meaning:
A rose is often seen as a beautiful and perfect flower, but this line tells us that even something so lovely can have problems. Imagine a rose in a garden that looks perfect on the outside, but when you look closer, you see it's wilting or has bugs eating its leaves. This shows that appearances can be deceiving, and even things or people that seem wonderful may have hidden issues. In life, we might meet people who look happy and successful, but they could be dealing with struggles we don't see. It reminds us to be kind and understanding, because everyone might have hidden difficulties. So, when you see someone or something that appears to be perfect, remember there could still be unseen challenges, and offer support instead of only admiring the surface.
