How does the Rose talk to the Cactus. How will the words of the Rose show real feeling for the Cactus? Will the subconscious give away in some trait in tone, inflection, or voice stress that may betray a lack of feeling or true respect from the Rose’s years of constant cultivation as opposed to the years of harsh desert conditions faced by the Cactus? Will the words in reply by the Cactus be appreciated or looked down upon as weakness typical of treatment toward the Cactus that receive too much care? Perhaps this is the reason why the Rose and Cactus do not grow together in the same environment, for they are raised so differently. How can one respect the other when the thorns of the Cactus are grown from harsh conditions, while the thorns from the Rose are born from indulgence?
