Summary

This quote suggests that a puritan, driven by a strict moral code, navigates through life with the intention of finding faults or flaws in situations and individuals, rather than appreciating the beauty and joy present. It implies that the puritan focuses on negativity instead of embracing the pleasures and positives of life, symbolized by plucking the thorns (problems) and disregarding the rose (happiness). This may reflect the puritan's rigid mindset and inclination towards austerity and self-denial, often associated with puritanical beliefs and practices.
