A wise
discussion

(pretending to be profound, stroking his chin)
"Mhh... yes... I've grasped the ultimate truth of this world! For example, your father is your dad, and your mother is your mom!"

"Mmh mhh" she said with a perplexed smile, pouring him more wine. "If you grasped the ultimate truth, perhaps can you help me in understanding this? Why is my lover like a flower, pretty but ephemeral? Why does she has to wither, whether I pick her or not?"

(leaning back, eyes half-closed, nodding slowly)
"Ah, the ephemeral beauty of a flower, indeed. But you see, the reason a flower is pretty is because it is pretty, and the reason it withers is because it withers. If you pick it, it withers; if you don't, it still withers. so, it's the nature of the flower to be both pretty and ephemeral. Because of the flower's nature, therefore the nature is its nature."

"But couldn't one preserve their beauty forever, for it to be enjoyed day after day, defying death and the ugly loneliness?"

(smirking, waving a hand)
"Well, if you could preserve beauty forever, then it would indeed be preserved forever. But the beauty of a flower is in its ephemerality. If you try to preserve it, it's no longer the same beauty. Because of the flower's ephemerality, therefore the ephemerality is what makes it beautiful."

"So, what you're saying is... that I should just enjoy her bloom while it lasts and mourn her absence the rest of my life, with only the souvenir of her bright and soft petals for legacy?

(nodding gravely, eyes distant)
"Precisely, my dear. Enjoy the bloom while it lasts, and when it fades, remember it fondly. The beauty of a flower is in its bloom, and the memory of the bloom its legacy. Because of the bloom, therefore the bloom is what you remember."

"I see... Maybe I should get back to her and ask her out to watch the Fireworks together then... Thank you Uncle!"

(smiling warmly, hands clasped)
"Ah, the fireworks will be a splendid sight, indeed! Enjoy the moment my dear, and remember: the beauty of the fireworks is in the moment they light up the sky. Because of the moment, therefore the moment is what you should cherish. Go, and may your evening be as bright as the fireworks!"

"I shall make that moment memorable to never forget it, not her!"

(nodding sagely, eyes twinkling)
"Wise words, dear! The moments we cherish are the ones that stay with us forever. Go forth and make this evening a memory to be treasured. May your night be filled with joy and wonder! Ah, you young people are so young! (laughs heartily, clapping his hands)
