Now you must be thinking why am I describing dagger and flowers to you. The reason is to set background for question that rose in my mind during one of my closest family member's wedding; and my answer to it. As per the tradition, groom had to carry a dagger and a bunch of flowers in his hands all the time before wedding ceremony. Considering the fact that this custom was created by very thoughtful ancestors, I began to think of the reason behind coming up with this.
While looking at both together I was looking at the things around and realised that this was in indicator telling groom to prepare himself with a mindset that is both like flower and dagger. In the next phase of life he will have to use both flowers and dagger. At times he will have to be as gentle as flower and at times he will have to be as hard and threatening as dagger. Using flowers where dagger is needed would yeild wrong results and using dagger when flowers are needed would yeild wrong result.
Be mindful and always carry a dagger and a bunch of flowers.
