If there's one thing we all know, it's that the main purpose of flowerbeds is to delimit and confine something considered special and beautiful within, something one intends to cultivate and protect at all costs. Let's start with a widely spread one: The flowerbed of 'false appearance.' Ladies and gentlemen, here is one of the most beautiful and flourishing flowerbeds you'll ever admire in your lifetime! From the beginning to the end of your days, get comfortable and admire the magnificent flowers growing within this lush space! I am your trusted gardener, and today, I will illustrate how to cultivate this fantastic flowerbed to its fullest. The flowers we will cultivate inside are perennial and thrive without distinction in every part of the world, from the coldest to the warmest climates, north and south of the world, 365 days a year. Why, you might ask? Well, because they are not real flowers! They are plastic flowers! Beautiful, isn't it? Wherever you are in the world, every day you can walk and observe them from afar, never really being able to get close, only dreaming and hoping that one day you might have one! Without knowing that you are chasing something 'falsely beautiful,' something that doesn't belong to you because it is neither capable of living nor dying, and therefore is your complete opposite! Quite sadistic, isn't it? But don't say this around! It will ruin the appearance of the flowerbed. Spread the word that the flowers are real! Magnificent, fragrant like you've never smelled! Just say it! Only then can you have a front-row seat in front of this magnificent glass that guards these flowers! Be liars! Suppress your emotions, protect the flowerbed in your home, office, your country. Say that everything is fine and perfect! Don't collapse, don't say you're unwell or have some ailment!
Otherwise, you'll trample on the flowerbed! And nobody wants these magnificent flowers to die, right? Wrong. No one taught us that to kill something, it must be alive. You can't kill what doesn't live, what is fake, what is the 'ideal' but not the real ideal. But we are taught to use this watering can very early: 'dress well, you'll make a good impression!' 'Behave like a lady, or no man will ever want you.' 'Be like your friend.' We live in a society that is based and revolves precisely around this, don't we? 'You must be x, otherwise you're not good enough.' Launch the new aesthetic canon, launch the new trend, put a famous person and make people insecure, sow the seeds to plant plastic flowers, make people insecure thanks to social media, and cultivate flourishing plastic flowers, boost the economy. So, get a breast augmentation, try to earn more for a luxurious life, change your car, get into debt, be like someone else!
Don't be who you want to be; in fact, it's okay. You'll see so many plastic flowers that you won't even be able to distinguish who you are and who the others were! And above all, it will become so automatic that going back will be so difficult that it will make you sink into: depression, panic attacks, disorientation, and a general sense of inadequacy! So why should we worship plastic flowers if we only get suffering? Because that's what we're taught from an early age. They taught me that I had to be 'normal' without even knowing what normality really was, to be everything but myself. I took this watering can and watered fake flowers all my life, cultivating fake ideals and false promises of peace and normality. And who knows, today, how many flowerbeds I continue to water without even realizing it. But in any case, don't trample on this flowerbed.
