Angels are good not simply because they see bad as bad, but also because they see bad as corny.

About This Quote

Angels are good not simply because they see bad as bad, but also because they see bad as corny. This quote is about how angels see things differently than we do. They understand that bad things happen to good people for reasons beyond their control. It’s the small things that get us down; things that would be totally insignificant to an angel.

For example, if angels were to look at your house, they would see a home full of junk, but they would also see it in the context of your life story. They would know that you have worked really hard to build up this home over the years, and everything in it is meaningful to you. Because of this perspective, they would not judge your house in terms of how attractive it is or what kind of furniture might go in it someday.

Instead, they would know that this is your home, that you are enjoying it now, and that you are learning to live with all the junk in it even though it makes you feel crappy.
