Default Grass on a Saturday morning

I hope I'll be forgiven for posting this quote which I came across on
mailing list I belong to.

GRASS

When I have the time to take a walk, I would often take the time to
admire the grass.

Grass doesn't make a fuss. It doesn't try to be beautiful or
outstanding. It doesn't want to attract attention. It is so humble
that it even allows people to walk all over it. Yet, it possess such
strength. It glows in healthy green despite being stepped all over,
and when a typhoon strikes and all the flowers die and all the trees
get uprooted, humble grass survives. And humble grass, in its own
humble way, provides food for animals, shelter for insects, and joy
to some funny guy walking past.

I think a virtuous man should be like grass. Humble, unnoticed, yet
possessing great strength and kindness.
