The concept of dualism is deeply ingrained in the natural world, and one of its most striking examples is the cycle of flowering and withering. The flowering of plants is a symbol of growth, vitality, and beauty. It represents the triumph of life over death, and the joy that comes from the renewal of the natural world. However, this period of flowering is inevitably followed by a period of withering and decay. As the flowers begin to wilt and fade, they lose their beauty and vitality, and become symbols of loss and decline. Despite the sadness that comes with the withering of flowers, it is an essential part of the cycle of life. The withering process is a reminder that all things are impermanent, and that even the most beautiful and vibrant things must eventually come to an end
