These beautiful flowers

Flowers are loved by women so much, that this love can be passed on men, who give them to women as a present. I can’t understand why women love flowers so much. In fact flowers are nothing. They fade very quickly and after passing several days, they are thrown away and only reminiscences remain. Women claim, that the main component of the fact, which makes them so happy when they are given flowers is attention. The scheme is very simple. You give flowers to a woman and it means that you are attentive to her. I wonder why kind words and support are not enough to feel this attention. Moreover, if you give flowers to women, they seem to fail to need any verbal attention. Giving flowers as a present is a sort of ritual, an ancient ritual the meaning of which is lost. From the viewpoint of common sense, flowers are absolutely irrelevant. I hate flowers but my wife loves them very much. That is why, each time, when the eve of her birthday comes, I think whether I should buy flowers for her. On the one hand I must buy them, because she loves them and waits for me such a present. On the other hand, she knows that I hate them and thus it turns out that I am insincere when I buy flowers to her. Very complicated problem. Besides, I don’t like flowers on the windowsill. I like clean and unoccupied windowsill much more. However, my wife places to many flowers there, which irritates me. I can’t even see the weather outside the window, because all these leaves and branches prevent me from examining the weather.
