      There’s more to this world and this universe than something revolving around “man”. We’re quite insignificant in this universe. So how much significance does an insignificant bacteria’s opinion have on you? But how much impact does that opinion have on the bacteria. Life is about perspective. That is what Hinduism teaches.

      @@jameslcowan see, here’s the thing, and your response makes it clear you don’t see the problem: businesses are not necessary. Your comment makes it seem like the existence of a business is self evident but that simply is not the case. Developing countries can industrialize without the implementation of industry, counterintuitive though it may be.
      The simple fact is businesses are actually parasitic towards people. A business, as an entity, must see human beings as resources instead of… well… people. The value of humans is determined by how much they can spend or how hard they can work and for how cheaply they can work for. With profit being the sole motive, businesses will proceed to drain resources (including people) as much as possible while attempting to hoard as much wealth as possible.
      You ask where the incentive is for businesses to provide people with basic needs. There isn’t one. We are nothing more than a tools to them. Hence businesses are parasitic. The transactional nature of businesses create the illusion of symbiosis, but in every transaction, a business will always get a little more than they give. And it builds up until people have nothing left to trade and businesses consequently have nothing left to offer.

      @connorgrynol9021 We're not going to see eye to eye on this and I accept that going in.
      I'm a business owner, I own a few. Every person I started with made more money and acquired more opportunities through hard work. The 'technological revolution' that has supposedly threatened employment has been ever-present. To generalize all businesses as being parasitic is narrow-minded but I empathize with your cynicism.
      I've seen what providing undeserved income to communities has done to my people (black people), living off of the government, and being a slave to regulation is by no means a way to secure longevity or a higher quality of life for human beings.
      Although I find your viewpoint to be hopeless, I find it idealistic of you to create fictional scenarios where the dismantling of the capitalistic structure of humanity (not just the US) would be to our benefit. Whenever I encounter individuals with a perspective such as yourself, they just come across as entitled and/or lazy. People tend to be parasitic by nature, I mean look at you, you're demanding everyone should get something for free so your life could be easier without the expense of any burden placed upon you.

His point still stands, something being natural has nothing to do with it being good, many essential oils are indeed quite corrosive and irritating (chemical burns) especially at constant contact and this kind of higher concentration. Some are even phototoxic (meaning they create bad sunburns when applied to skin and exposed to sun light). Why do you think essential oils are not sold in huge bottles lol.

    Instead of saying flower waste you should respectfully call it used flowers.
    They are an offering to our deity. but does not mean they become "waste" after they lose the freshness.

      It's waste, stop. This type of thinking is why India has so much waste and trash in the country because y'all don't look at it as. Waste.

    500 an hour! How much are they paid?

      It depends on cost of living in that location.
      Example: Birmingham is cheaper than london. Wages vary between these 2 cities

    Their hands must be so soft and smooth, kneeling the dough and mixing with essential oils daily. ❤

      They're not 'kneeling' the dough there are KNEADING THE DOUGH

      ​@RoseBushThorns588 ... Do you feel better now? Taking out your bad mood on a random person is gross. Be better than that.

      yeah but i do worry about the essential oils, they can be really harsh on skin and prolonged exposure can make you develop allergies :/ it's good they're wearing masks but id like to see them in gloves!!
      but i agree these ladies probably smell amazing all the time
