Do you complain because roses have thorns or rejoice because thorns have roses?

Not all thorns have roses (example: briar bushes) and just because a rose bush has thorns does not mean it has roses. So the premise of this is illogical. You cannot depend on thorns to assume you'll find or see roses, that roses will ever be found or seen, or whether you're looking at a rose bush at all. The only logical answer, then, is to rejoice that we have gloves to hold a rose stem and snippers to cut off its thorns if present. But we also must appreciate that thorns serve a protective function for the roses we enjoy. For example, a deer's nose is awfully sensitive--when it comes to nosh (eat) a rosebud, its nose will get pricked by thorns so it learns to leave roses alone.

Why is life not a bed of roses?
The idiomatic expression "a bed of roses" refers to something that is beautiful, pleasant, or comfortable. In many ancient cultures, rose petals were strewn in the path of an important person, to show their high status and to show affection for them. While life can indeed have good days or good times, it also has problems and struggles and sadness. We cannot realistically expect that everything will always be beautiful and pleasant, even though we might wish it to be. Thus, we cannot honestly say life is a bed of roses.

Yes it was justified. Because the chief queen deserved it. She had done a lot for jahangir and he felt that she must be gifted with something which she liked the most.

Do you create your own destiny or is fate involved?
Fate and luck is a fairy tale, it doesn't exist. Do the fruits on your tree grow as per luck? Or they depend on the seed you plant? You know that if you plant roses, you will not get tulips. Therefore, just like you know the flower depends on the seed, you must realize your destiny depends on your deed. Destiny is not a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice. We have to choose our actions. As per our actions, good or bad, our morals, our ethics, our thoughts, our life shapes to be what we want it to be. And ultimately, if we want to be liberated from the cycle of death and rebirth, then we must realize that we are the Divine Soul. Then we will be liberated from all misery and sorrow. We will be united with the Divine.
Why did FTD choose Hermes as the logo?
Iris was the original messenger god in the greek pantheon. She was the rainbow that traveled from the earth to the heavens bringing her news. Over time she was replaced by Hermes, god of writing/magic/journey to the afterlife. It's the journey to the afterlife part that's the nearest to Iris. FTD is in the business of delivering colorful "messages" in the form of flowers ("Get Well" "Congratulations" "Sorry for Your Loss"). Flowers are impractical short-lived decorations, meaningless if not for the cultural associations of "a dozen long-stemmed roses" (love) or an assortment of calla lilies (bereavement). These are messages in material symbolic form. You might argue that Iris would be a better symbol for FTD, what with the rainbow association and all (nature, colors), but no one knows who she is just by looking. Best they could do would be a "rainbow lady," and that wouldn't express the quick/convenient end of the business FTD wants to communicate. Hermes is very recognizable because of his hat/staff and other traditional iconography, but he also looks like a nearly-military man on a mission: a good impression to give people of your workforce when you're advertising getting the goods there quick and right.
