Let's apply the 3 Deadly Virtues to the tulips in an existential proof and see what happens: Starting with Selflessness, you must forget about the patch of earth your life requires. You must selflessly invite others to take up your space. But not just any "others". Your Duty is to invite THE MOST NEEDY others…Dandelions (weeds) to come share your space. Next, with Self-Sacrifice, when the rain comes, you must give it all away (remember "give said the little stream"). Duty requires that you give away NO MATER WHAT or WHO the others are (i.e. weeds). Umbrella over tulip…and the weeds grow. Finally, apply Unconditional Love. John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (only…they are not your friends) You must love all these poor Dandelion creatures "NO MATTER WHAT", especially to the point of giving up your life for them. The fact that they have taken over your space, and sucked up all of the water, just gives you all the more chance to prove that your unconditional Love. In the end, the Tulip is gone, the garden has become a patch of overgrown weeds...Worthy of being burned. If the three deadly virtues consistently applied will do that to your garden…What will they do to your life?
