The term “rose in a glass” does in fact refer to just that, a silk rose in a glass tube, purchased in bulk from vendors in China. The rose, however, is incidental, because it’s the glass that serves the purpose as a crack pipe. Often bought alongside a Chore Boy, wool pads that you would normally use as cleaning pads. The chore boy is used as a filter between the rock and the users mouth.
I surprised my girlfriend with a rose in a glass, who would have thought such a small token of my love would have brought her such joy. She is very careless and clumsy, she cracked my gift after having it less than an hour. As I watched her grab a can of her favorite soda to console herself, I handed her another "Love Rose". "Be more careful with this one my dear," I said. "I only have 34 more." "Then I don't want this green one," she lamented. "Roses aren't green, they're pink, or white, or red." I handed her three of each color, like a glass bouquet. "It must have taken you so long to find so many," she said. I told her that I collected them for her over a period of time, picking up one or two, three when I felt adventurous. "Was it love, or did it feel like a chore?" she asked. I said, "I do what I do out of love, I am not your chore boy." We spent a rare night filled with the kind of joy that only small gifts can bring. Think of the wonderful feelings of comfort and security a box of love can bring to a couple who appreciates the smaller things in life, who live clean, and love to share a blast together.

The guy/girl had always worn rose colored glasses, and didn't see that he/she was as much of a hypocrite as everybody else, or that not everybody had to think the way he/she thought about the world, or life.

Jim Jones seemed like a wonderful humanitarian looking to spread hope and egalitarian values like wildfire to the world when viewed through rose colored glasses, since you could ignore any of the things about someone that you didn't want to see, and deny any negative feelings you had about him the same way he would deny any negative feelings he had about anybody else. A guy that kills over 900 people is not without negative feelings, and is not a boundless optimist if you look at the whole person, and not just the positive things that look/sound nice. A guy like that seems like the real cynic, even if he's not outwardly a negative grouch.
