A pineapple has "many eyes, it sees the opportunity ahead and faster than others" in Chinese culture.
?? Theory ??
Digging a little into possible meanings of yesterday's tweet from Pompeo and came across this:
Chinese Pineapple Symbolism Over the years doing this project, I’ve talked to many amazing people. One day, I learned about pineapple symbolism in Chinese culture. What does it mean?
The pineapple is a symbol of good luck! Because of its many eyes, it sees the opportunity ahead and faster than others.
Could this relate to the current political situation between Taiwan and China?
I didn't know it either. My mom & aunt had green thumbs, I just grow tomatoes and squash in the summer. But after my 2 favorite women passed, I decided to make a go of it. I thought they'd just make pretty potted plants but they were outgrowing the pots & I thought what the hell, put them in the ground. The fruit grows dead center. And they were so juicy and sweet when I picked them, even if they were a little small.
