not always a bed of roses

i am just amazed with optimism from people who have basically lived a life on a bed of roses. they always have the tendency to see the glass half full. when it's a talk on relationships, they see falling in love, and living happily ever after. when it's a talk about work, they see themselves as falling into the places of the "successful" people in their own fields, like it's the only way to go.

but on the bad side, these eternal optimists just look at their life so narrowly that they have the tendency to forget that it isn't always like that. life isn't always like that for everybody. it isn't always a bed of roses. people fall in love, and get betrayed. people work hard to succeed, and still get stabbed at the back by their own bosses. people invest, and yet still loses everything.
