We live in a broken world. We aren't in the Garden of Eden. Sin has entered and I think of everything that is not perfectly beautiful, as sin. A flower can be beautiful, but it can be stepped on and crushed. But just because it has been ruined, doesn't mean that it's bad. Weeds aren't wanted but their prevalence doesn't make it better than the beautiful flowers. The point is that resilience, prevalence, fragility--people falling into sin--are examples of God's harmony.
God brings beauty out of ugliness.
In creation, God makes everything good. In redemption, God does something better.
