You become spontaneously happy to see smiling flowers but have you ever wondered why flowers are being produced by nature? Is it only to make us happy? No way ….. ! Well, you will say that everyone knows the answer. Plants produce flower to attract pollinators!

Who are these pollinators? Again, everyone knows the answer. Birds, insects and animals pick up pollen of flowers and spread it.

By doing so they enable plants, including many food crops, to reproduce!

It is interesting to note that pollinators are responsible for food production also. So, it is not about the beauty alone, flowers help us to survive in this world! But, probably that is NOT the reason for making us so happy by seeing a flower!🙂

Though why we become happy by viewing something beautiful is not clearly understood! Viewing a palatable and mouth watering food item makes us greedy and happy because that item is ready to eat!

But beauty is not a food item!🤩

Some people say, they love to see flowers. This is somewhat better. Because, true love is not for any gain. Again, confusion arises. OK. I mean, love is always pure and true.

However, scientists claim that our love, happiness, sorrow etc. etc. every emotion is controlled by some chemical secretion in our brain. Maybe! But we know love is a passion and science may never be able to fully understand all mechanisms of how a human brain works!😛
