Thought of Dandelion(s) when I read this little story ...

*

(Source of story: Warrior of Light; Paulo Coelho)

Nadia spent the whole autumn sowing and preparing his garden. In the spring, the flowers opened, and Nadia noticed a few dandelions that he had not planted.

Nadia pulled them up. But the seeds had already spread, and others grew. He tried to find a poison that would kill only dandelions. An expert told him that any poison would end up killing all the other flowers too. In despair, Nadia sought help from a gardener.

'It's just like marriage,' said the gardener. 'Along with the good things, there are always a few inconveniences.'

'What should I do, then?

'Nothing. They may not be the flowers you intended to have, but they are still part of the garden.'

Acceptance... this is it!
Don't say it is of no use to me...
Say, I am not great enough to encompass it... try to understand its being... then you love it and it wil be part of your world.

"Not great enough to encompass it." So true. Something to always remember.
