People give flowers as present because flowers contain true meaning of love. Anyone who tries to posses a flower will have to watch its beauty fading.

While the flowers, pale and unreal in the moonlight, floated away upon the river; and thus do greater things that once were in our breasts, and near our hearts, flow from us to the eternal sea.
And fairy month of waking mirth
From whom our joys ensue
Thou early gladder of the earth
Thrice welcome here anew
With thee the bud unfolds to leaves
The grass greens on the lea
And flowers their tender boon receives
To bloom and smile with thee.

Erase the mind. And the way to erase it is not by fight: the way to erase it is just to become aware.
