Summary

This quote suggests that when we view things with love and kindness, we perceive them in the truest form of beauty. The perspective of charity allows us to see the reality for what it is, rather than distorting it with judgment or negativity. By looking at the world through the eyes of love, even ordinary or mundane things can be perceived as beautiful, as we recognize the inherent value and goodness in everything around us.

[Mrs. Allen was] never satisfied with the day unless she spent the chief of it by the side of Mrs. Thorpe, in what they called conversation, but in which there was scarcely ever any exchange of opinion, and not often any resemblance of subject, for Mrs. Thorpe talked chiefly of her children, and Mrs. Allen of her gowns.
