We are particularly violent towards flowers. We actually promote their murder - both by hand and the use of sharp metal instruments. Not only do we slaughter them - we then keep their corpses half-submerged in water. We keep them around and watch the life bleed out of them - watch them fade away. We sometimes even pull off their petals and dry them so that we can keep the memory of their murder in a bowl beside our bed, TV and bath. We are sentimental beings - and this slaughter of anything prettier than we are - is something we savour. We profit off it - financially and emotionally. The men who use these corpses to woo their partners and gain favours because of the cost involved.... Yes
@Dave - we are definitely complex individuals.
