Theres one game were one person says a word & u have to reply back with a word that instantaneously comes to ur mind...lets play that....Rain-Water, Sky-Blue, Birds-Fly, Mountain-Strong, Flowers-Colors or Bloom or Variety or Freshness or Way to resemble ur feelings....There are many.
There might be many more words like this which can be related with different feelings & expressions but dont u all think we all think about mostly flowers when we find the need to show genuinely express our feelings.
Every flower seems to talk about its purpose. Talks loud until the person who received it hears it. Has anyone come across people who dont like flowers.
Poets & Writers have always spoken about flowers & their fragrances. They give a fresh way to look at things & blooms the expressions on the persons face the way it would have bloomed when the sun rose on a new day. I am sure the rays of light would love to fall on them every morning.
Does a flower refuse to bloom fresh & strong just because they are the ones used in someones funerals. Or do they bloom with an attitude because they are used to decorate ones beauty.
So what do we sumarize in all the above english : As a flower, look forward for a new day, new light, new reason to bloom & grow & prove ur purpose. Strike a balance of beauty with dignity & carry urself with grace.
Every face must be smiling & the person must spread the fragrance of humanity & our pupose of being born as a individual....Happy Colorful Living.

Culture...
This is the first thing we can say culture is, a wardrobe of signs people put out to each other, indicating where we are coming from and what we're about, so other people can size us up and decide what to do next. It is a way of marking out what makes us different.
Cultural historian Raymond Williams spent a lot of time trying to come up with a definition of culture. He referred to it as a whole way of life, or a structure of feeling. I have always rather liked that expression. It gives you the sense of culture as something you learn, perhaps without really being aware of it, yet it shapes your awareness of everything around you and how you react to things.
Learning a particular structure of feeling gives one no special insight whatsoever into other people's structures of feeling. Indeed, for our present purposes it has to remain an open question whether there is any way at all to get an overview of how structures of feeling, in general, operate. It is perfectly clear that literary and fine art cultures have no special knowledge of culture in general.
