Gentle Struggle

Roses grow among thorns, and from a distance it is difficult to tell which is the thorn and which is the rose. The green branches are covered with sharp thorns, and the tops of the thorns are red, like red blood. As it grows, the thorns become thicker, the thorns become harder, and the tips become redder; the rose grows leaves, covering its entire body and its thorns. The thorns grew stronger, the roses bloomed, one was feared, and the other was loved. The fearful person looks at it from a distance, moves forward a little and then steps back; the person who likes it pricks the palm of his hand, and it bleeds just like the sharp point of the thorn!
