I honestly do think that keeping a well-tended garden is a high-effort task. Of course, it depends on what you consider to be a weed, and what you consider 'healthy' and 'beautiful' to mean. But my take is that e.g. believing that homosexuality is inherently bad would be an example of a weed, and depending on a person's upbringing, that can be a very easy belief to hold. Weeds of that sort can be difficult for people to come to terms with and pluck, especially if they've been strongly indoctrinated into a particular system of beliefs.

I think I agree with your other points.
