About This Quote

A flower does not bloom for itself, but for the world; do likewise. This quote is a metaphor for service. The flower gives pleasure to mankind because it wants to give some happiness to mankind. It does not do this for its own sake, but rather because this is what flowers are supposed to do. If you want to be of service to mankind, then do so with the same fervor that flowers show.
