Flower or Fruit

     A flower is a reproductive system often attracting animals, birds, and insects to help with pollination.  The beauty of a blossom also attracts humans who are in awe of color, shape, and scent.  After pollination, fruit forms which can give sustenance to other creatures.
     Much of our life can be spent as a flower.  We want to sustain our outer beauty to be attractive to others especially the opposite sex.  Much time is spent on reproduction making sure our species continues through future generations.  We then focus on children and grandchildren helping them blossom.
     Perhaps we should spend more time being a fruit, developing our talents to create products and services that will benefit others beyond our own families.  Everyone should take responsibility to sustain and improve the environment and to improve the lives of those nearby and around the world.
     A flower's main objective is to be attractive and reproduce itself.  It's lifetime is important yet short.  The fruit takes much longer to develop and produces seeds for the next generation.  When fully developed, the fruit provides food for other creatures.  We all spend part of our lives being flowers, but at maturity, we need to become fruit.
