Perception

i was just at this one of these wedding festivitiess (mehndi) the other day and while sitting around i came across these flowers and petals wondering how can things change their importance and function according to the context and situations they are put in…these flowers and petals are showered upon bride and groom as a blessing that their upcoming life is as smooth as a bed of roses…however these same flowers are showered upon the dead body or set upon it before being cremated or buried…and these are the same flowers that are showered upon mazaars and in temples…things change and so do their meanings…its all a matter of how you look at things …a matter of perception, really
