Have you ever noticed how beautiful some weeds actually are? For starters, there are the kind with the yellow flower that turns into a dandelion. Then there are the ones that look like four-leaf clovers (minus one of the leaves). Others have nice shades of purple or red.
So if weeds look so nice, why don't we just let them grow? To take it a step further, why don't we intentionally plant these amazing species all over our yards and gardens?
Weeds are not as innocent as they may appear. They suck up water and nutrients that the plants around them would otherwise consume. Weeds can also have various types of thorns and even be poisonous to people. For these reasons (and probably others that I can't think of), it's best to remove weeds.
Two important tips about removing weeds: Remove them quickly and completely. It's important to remove them quickly because they tend to spread quickly. It's important to remove them completely by pulling out the roots because if you just cut the top, they will grow back.
Weeds make a great analogy for other areas of life where certain problems are disguised as seeming very attractive. Over time it becomes apparent that their bad far outweighs the good. Unfortunately, just like weeds, these negative things can spread quickly and be difficult to completely remove. But removing these weedlike parts of our lives is always worth the effort!
