What if I say…

I don’t like sunflowers anymore.

I used to like them.

 


My internal thought asks me…

Sunflowers always follow the sun.

They are the embodiment of positive energy.

 


Well, that is the reason.

I mean, they are just followers.

All they do is just following the sunshine.

They will always only move their heads according to the direction of the sun. 

If the sun goes down.

They will put their heads down.

They are too dependent on the outside world.

 


My internal thought replies me…

There is no organism that is totally independent.

Why do you accuse these creatures for simply wanting to survive?

 


Okay, but…

Maybe stop labeling sunflowers as a symbol of positive spirit?
