"Look at any garden: among the lovely colorful blooms and aroma is dirt filled with dog poop, crawly bugs, dead leaves, and petals. Before the flowers germinated and then bloomed, there was only the dirt. But now you have lovely flowers and you can choose to focus on the flowers or the crud. That there always will be some dirt and crawly bugs and such between the flowers is a fact of life. Somehow, though, the contrast between the bugs and the blooms makes the blooms even more special."
