I gotta go. Hey ... Wait!

Caption: I see you're wearing your rose-colored glasses again. They make me happy. You should get a pair. No thanks. I prefer to see the world in all its untinted reality. No false sense of hope induced by corrective lenses. Nope. Not for me. The real world is a cruel and unfair place where the bad guys win. Your rose-tinted world is an illusion. You deny reality, and in return you get happiness. Besides, if I were happy, I couldn't do what I do. What DO you do? Besides make others unhappy? That's what I do.
