    I think it is suppose to be one of those “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” kinda things. Definitely a more interesting way of putting it though.

    wow, my ex-boyfriend got a similar fortune about… 7 years ago? It said “the onion you are eating is another man’s lotus”

    i think the water lily and onion are actually related, so it sort of makes sense
