Why don't people appreciate Dandelions?

I was walking on the sidewalk, and noticed that a large family of dandelions had conquered the grass next to me. I think they are beautiful. I remember being a little kid, and I would pick a handful of dandelions and take them to my mother. She always acted happy to have them. My older brother would yell, "Those are just weeds!" I think he was jealous.

Sure they're weeds, but to me they are just as pretty as flowers. THen, I thought, there has to be a deeper meaning.
One, I thought of how I've seen good-looking people, and then I've seen beautiful people. My distinction is that beautiful people are attractive inside and out. To be good-looking, however, only takes surface-level grooming. Dandelions could be like those good-looking people, who are just a weed in a flower's body.

I also thought about how people are judged based on their status instead of their qualities. I would have never known dandelions were weeds until someone told me. Oftentimes, we judge people based on how much money they have, or a car, or their education, and automatically discount others who don't have these things. So even though the dandelion have-nots are just as good as the daisy-haves, we allow status to distinguish the two.

Am i reading too deep into dandelions? I love dandelions.
