There is a garden, full of weeds. They grow wild and uncotrolled, having covered almost the entire area of the garden. A singe rose is budding amongst the weeds, struggling to reach for the sun. It tries to breath through the weight of the burdensome weeds. Will it flower, or be suffocated under the overgrowth?
