The Weekly Quote - Survival and Weeds (Yes, I said Weeds)
"A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows." ~ Doug Larson
Some people are plants, and some people are weeds. A weed has its good points. They survive despite everything, and pop up everywhere regardless of our boundless desire to get rid of them. Persistent little buggers.
But they also have their bad points. They can't grow in rows, and lots of them don't serve the correct purpose when they just pop up.
However, the plants we want to grow do not have that same sort of adaptability. At least, they often don't seem to, since occasionally they have a perverse desire to keel over and die when we most want them to live.
Anyway, perhaps those weeds do have a purpose. You can eat dandelion greens, you know. Rip 'em up and have a salad you don't have to pay for!
