My level of chronically online is “surprised that people still see dandelions in a negative light”

I had to check myself on whether I was being disrespectful because my conversation partner was talking about dandelions growing on a grave, and I was like... why is that bad?
The answer generally came down to it being a sign that the groundskeeper wasn't taking care of the area. Which doesn't *not* make sense...

But I thought we all recognized that perfectly manicured grass was a symptom of our learned “need” to exercise control over the chaos of nature?
And that doing so leads to an unhealthy environment due to a lack of biodiversity?
And that flowers growing on graves could symbolize the cycle of life?
And that the brightness of dandelions in a graveyard might show us the duality of life? How there is joy in grief, and vice versa?

No?

Oh.
