About This Quote
The world is a cruel place, and those who have been dealt a bad hand from it tend to become bitter. They assume that the world is out to get them because of their unfortunate past. That’s what shattered dreams are all about. Shattered dreams occurs when a person is flattered by the things they have been given only to realize that they have been used and then cast aside by those who have benefitted from them. Falling backwards means that one has lost hope, and it is necessary for someone, somewhere, to pick up that hope and carry it forward into the future.
