About This Quote
Real life is cruel. It doesn't care about heroes and happy endings and the way things should be. In real life, bad things happen. People die.
Fights are lost. Evil often wins. We all want to believe in a world where everyone is happy and everyone gets what they want, but in reality it’s not like that.
Bad things happen to good people, sad things happen to happy people, and sometimes nothing good happens at all even if it seemed like it would.
