A jasmine is a vine plant. It's flowery and very pretty when it blooms. The problem for the jasmine is that if it grows with nothing for it to grow on, it just lies on the ground and is in danger of being trampled on and mowed over rather than admired for what it is. Thus putting its full potential in jeopardy. What a jasmine needs is something to grow on. Like two wooden posts side by side that the jasmine can grow around and be supported by. When it has this, it is raised off the ground, out of danger, and able to be seen for all its splendor. Rather than being looked over as when it lies on the ground, the posts cause it to be seen. People take notice of it and value it. Also, the wooden posts when supporting the jasmine no longer are seen as being useless things in the way but with the jasmine growing around it are viewed as necessary and having a purpose. One magnifies and enhances the other. People are like jasmines and posts. They can exist on their own but exist is all they do. Without each other, they are unproductive and useless.
