Do you have weeds in your life? Either the kind of weeds that sneak into your grass, flower beds, or mulched areas or the other kind that remind me of the junque-mail of existence.
Any kind of weed can be seen by everyone.....if we just look. We are surrounded by them. Some are of the obnoxious variety, making humans and animals sneeze and their eyes water. Other weeds thrive, only to grow tall, because they are prickly, thorny, or, perhaps, nettle and are protected from contact by living beings. A few weeds can be eaten, such as dandelion greens, before they flower. These greens, when picked early in their growth cycle, are tender and tasty, especially when smothered with sour cream, bacon, scrambled eggs and potatoes. If any kind of weed is not plucked from its surroundings, it will grow rapidly, often choking out the desirable vegetation and life that it touches - literally smothering its neighbors.
How do we rid ourselves of weeds in our life? We either bend over and manually pull the weeds with our hands or we use a tool to remove them. Then the weeds should be collected and deposited either in a compost pile or appropriate waste-removal bag. If we are fortunate to have extra dollars in our wallets, we can hire someone else to do our weed-removal. If not, then we must pull our own weeds. Weeding is not the responsibility of others. It rests squarely on the shoulders of those of us who do not like the weeds in our lives.
If the weed got too tall, we have only to look in the mirror.
