About This Quote

If you are looking at the world through rose-colored glasses, everything is perfect in your life. You’ve got it made, literally. All of the people in your life are loving and wonderful. Your job is fulfilling and you have not spent a single solitary day unhappy in it.

When it comes to talking about friends, they are all beautiful souls who do not deserve to be thrown into the trash heap with all of humanity’s other outdated ideas. Not only are they not worthy of being thrown away, but they may even bring you comfort in your time of need.
