voire la vie en rose is a French expression that means “to see life in pink” basically implies seeing things better than what they really are.
Sometimes in a bid to make ourselves better, we make certain choices. For example, the belief that buying new a new car, clothes, jewelry, or even getting married will bring you happiness. However, once you have those things, you end up feeling worse off than before. That’s why it’s advisable to see things for what they truly are.
