Flower's Republic (floriography & decision making)
Apr 09, 2020
Creator
Floriography (or the symbolism of flower) and politics have always been very pregnent in Chinese traditional arts. It's heavily found in painting, calligraphy, ceramic, poetry, and so on. For example, a scroll with plum blossoms invading branches in winter is the vehicle to narrate the great victory by a new dynasty (the plum blossom), chasing away the harsh bitterness from the previous one (winter). The aestheticism, scent, liveliness of flowers is inspiring, empowering, invigorating.
I breath in, look around, and realized that even hospitals have now replaced florists by bank outlets in the halls... priorities are shifting.
Let that sink in, the reality of it.
That's the world we're living in, and Effy's investments might have played a rather large role in that. Another example are the so-called flowers revolutions that came and went, with little to no real impact. The real takeover took place though. Largest companies control more resources than most states (human, time and material), so from a leadership and decision making perspective, the mode of selection of state leaders is becoming a moot point.
You can root for A or B, eventually, heads Effy's investment win and we're left without inspiration and beauty.
