Sunflowers & The Illusion Of Happiness

"The moments of happiness—we had the experience but missed the meaning. And approach to the meaning restores the experience in a different form."
– T.S. Eliot, from The Four Quartets

"There is an illusion that comes with moments of joy—one believes they will last. But reality waits, patiently, to remind you that nothing does."
– Unknown

"Happiness is but a temporary lull in the endless struggle of existence."

"The brightest moments often burn the fastest, leaving behind only smoke and memory."
– Unknown

"Moments of joy are like mirages—they appear real until you try to hold them."
– Unknown

Sunflowers are often associated with happiness and joy due to their bright, vibrant yellow color and the way they turn towards the sun. However, the concept of "illusion of happiness" suggests that this positive symbolism might not always be a reflection of reality, or that there are other, perhaps more complex, meanings associated with sunflowers.
