Is life a spring or winter?

The picture below of the flower was taken just during the spring when I was in Slovakia ... and it came out in a place full of rot and desolation after a heavy winter ...

and what I really liked about this flower is that it bloomed amidst everything around it ... and I was quite sure that it's bloom will lead to many others within days.

and isn't it very much like life? There have been many times when I faced a crowd full of people who take life negatively ... a tilted view ... an unoptimistic view?

amazingly, most people wait for a bright star to shine into their lives ... for someone to lead the way ... so spread the postiveness ... but once it starts, it's all downhill ... just like this flower.

How many of us are like this flower?
