Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of expressing love and appreciation to someone while they are still alive, rather than waiting until they are dead to offer tributes and praise. The speaker suggests that by giving them "roses now" â€“ love, kindness, and recognition â€“ they can truly enjoy and be uplifted by these gestures in their lifetime, rather than being deprived of them after death when they can no longer appreciate or benefit from them. It serves as a reminder to cherish and celebrate individuals in the present moment.
