16 Tulip Mania

September 26, 2024 by Emily Downs

Summary:

Have you heard of tulip mania? Holland and much of the world went crazy over tulip bulbs during a time. People were selling everything they had just to buy these sought-after after bulbs.

This seems ridiculous to us today, yet what are we chasing? It might not be a flower, but unless it's something eternal, like the colorful tulip, it too will wither away.
What are you chasing?
