This doesn’t pertain to everyone or every situation so poignancy is lost. Stupid quote.

Made that mistake for the last 8 years of my previous relationship…

Above the surface may appear not worth saving, however, beneath the earth possibly still remains a viable beautiful new growth. Be patient and water it slowly. Don’t drown it. Talk, communicate, understand how this flower has become the way it looks and how it can bounce back into something even stronger and more beautiful.

Wish I’d known that 12 years ago…I watered the heck out of that flower trying to will it to grow and keep going…just to have the whole plant die. The plant/flower has to WANT to live and flourish, otherwise it don’t matter what you do…..lesson learned.

Or as my dad says ” Quit beating a dead horse” Either way I’m putting this advice to use in my life soon.

a dead flower is a dead flower. nothing will change it. i agree.

some flowers just die for the winter lol

What if it’s mistaken for dead, & water is exactly what it needs at that moment?

you DONT throw away something that is broken, you FIX !!!!!

Bs. Grass is greener where u water it. Flowers die and if u take the time to replant and nourish. It will grow back. Why divorce is commandos gardeners walk away and give up cuz a flower died. Damn we wouldn’t evem have flowers if we didnt keep tryin. Loser comments like this that ppl believe. Now if u keep watering it will over water and kill it too. Also if nothin returns after u have tried and tried then well that different but done just give up cuz ur first sorry attempt didnt work. Js

when we have out grown a relationship its time to move…we cannot revive a dead flower

I agree with some here. Nowadays, people just wanna easily walk away from their marriage, when it can truly be saved with hard work by both and constant open communication. You can bring a flower back to life with the right care, the same as a marriage!! People give up to easily these days. Whatever happened to the unconditional love?!?!

Some only think the flower is dead most of the time though and go ahead and throw it out…but with the right care and watering you can still bring it back to life…im js my opinion. A lot of the time people see things worse than they are at the time they decide to leave bc they are blinded by their anger and anger only releases bad thoughts. Give it time…

I wish it was that easy ?

Maybe the root is fine, wait for a while and give it good catering, when spring comes again it may come back to life and start fresh. Be patient

Sometimes when you thought that it is dead and and you have stop watering.then you’ve seen something is growing from it, you again turn your head and put some of your time to give some nourishment to such plant and realized one day that the once you’ve almost give up from making it alive it turns into a wonderful plant that give so much attaction and inspiration to your life. For me…sometimes we need to feel from deep within our heart if the feelings that once we thought its gone would never create a big regrets in the future.think twice… Read more »

Tough lesson for some of us ?

It’s not that easy… It’s really hurt…..

The flower can still come to life if u took care of it. Don’t necessarily have to give up on it, work with it.

Flowers come back to being and bring new life. Don’t insult those who feel this way about themselves

but human isn’t flower.. Love can change everything

What if it’s a flower that keeps tricking.you and making.you think it.could.work..

when it’s over , i give one last chance to be really over , so when in the future i remember that moment , i say i gave everything and accept everything , even the real of breaking so hard my heart , then i would be just happy when i remember that , not feeling like i ” oh what if i did that or …” so that time i only know that i did everything i can do even the impossible , so then i be calm heart

People that follow this quote will carry those same ideals into marriage. Hence often resulting into divorce. Ever wonder why the divorce rates are so high? Here is another quote. “Don’t quit when the going gets rough.” Every relationship will have rocky points, so it is best to resolve those issues and practice…….otherwise you won’t be able to hold a marriage. Mr and Mrs Perfect do not exist…..This quote is a load of crap.
