Glasses are crutches for the eyes.

(S. N. Fedorov)

- Why does a person prefer to wear rose-colored glasses and not see the world in real light?

- Let's start with the fact that no one can see the world as it is. And more importantly, he cannot see and realistically evaluate his own internal state. So everyone has glasses. Only they are different: with glasses of different colors and shades, sizes, purposes and with different diopters. Glasses are put on by us literally from birth. From the moment when we begin to comprehend and feel this world in some way.

Our first relationship and feelings are formed towards the person who accepts us. Moreover, we note that any person who accepts us in infancy, and who takes care of us, evokes a reciprocal feeling at the level of instincts. And if you ask any child “Whose mother is smarter, more beautiful, kinder?”, Everyone will confidently answer “ME!”

But if we start a collective discussion of this issue objectively, line up all mothers, introduce the criteria of beauty and kindness, then it will become clear that all mothers cannot be the very best. It turns out that one mother is less kind, the other less beautiful. If you try to present the results of our collegium's research to a child and tell him that, they say, your mother turned out to be less beautiful than the mother of a certain Petya Pupkin, the child will not agree with this. And in our objective opinion, we still will not convince the child. This happens because the internal subjective sensations of the child will run counter to our opinion on this matter.

A person always has a different attitude to everything that is his own than to someone else's. There are certain psychological mechanisms that form all this. We know that it is much more unpleasant to break your own toy than someone else's toy. My house, my toy, my favorite place, my village… Everything that is connected with “mine” is felt and perceived in a different way. We all view the world subjectively.

Returning to the moment of birth, it must be emphasized that during this period we know nothing at all about the world: neither about its structure, nor about the interactions in it, nor about ourselves. From the very beginning, we learn all this from scratch. It is fundamentally important who begins to teach us. It is also important what and how we are taught. For example, if they explain to us that it is yellow, while pointing to yellow, then we will remember this. But if a child is taught that this color is yellow, while pointing to red, then he will also successfully learn this and will be convinced that red is yellow.

This will happen because the child cannot check anything. He does not have enough experience and knowledge for this. When he grows up and sees this discrepancy, he will understand his mistake. But then it will be a rather painful process. After all, any person relies on the knowledge he has acquired. And it is quite difficult for him to remake or rethink the picture of the world, down to particulars, changing his point of view. To do this, you have to agree that you do not know something or know it wrong. This causes an internal conflict with yourself, because with such awareness your internal integrity is destroyed, the set of ideas that you have on this moment. You, for example, know what and where is in your apartment, and you are comfortable at the same time. But if you come home, all things are not in their places, and you have little idea where to find something, then such chaos, of course, causes discomfort. Even if now everything is located more conveniently. The discomfort will stop when you again know where everything is, and you will be comfortable again.

If they explained to me, for example, that the world is kind, and I am wonderful, and then I have to face reality, when everything turns out to be wrong, and it turns out that I am not at all wonderful and occupy the wrong place in the world, and the world itself not so kind, this discovery causes great stress. Changing the picture of the world causes very painful sensations. In such a situation, a person tries to hold on to his old constructs, but cannot. He hardly accepts new ones.

We've all been through this since childhood. Our understanding of the world is constantly changing throughout our lives, although the world itself remains unchanged. In childhood, the world is one, in adolescence he is seen by others, in his youth - by the third, and so on. An old man and a baby in the same year, in the same place, see the world differently. They understand and describe what they see in their own way. They have different experiences, different levels of understanding of the world and different descriptions and distortions. By the way, this is the reason why there is a war between parents and children.

- It turns out that rose-colored glasses are something innate, and not what society puts on you?

One does not exclude the other. First, I begin to perceive the world through myself. I am the eyes of this world. I can see everything in my own way. Each person's perception is unique. You will not find a person with identical views to another. A simple example: We can go into the same store, and if we are asked at the exit about the goods seen, everyone will talk about their own, describe in their own way. And in general, it may seem that we were in different stores. Simply because everyone will pay attention to the things that interest him. This is due at least to the fact that we cannot cover EVERYTHING with our attention. We perceive only a very small part of this world. We fail to see everything that is happening around, and, accordingly, to see the full picture of reality. Because of this, distortion begins, which leads to subjective perception. It is impossible to see everything, but in order to see more, more objectively, one must desire it and put a lot of effort into it! But not many people want to apply forces. It is much easier to live by convincing yourself that you see everything for real, and others do not.

In addition, everything that we see, as well as our inner feelings, our relationships with other people, we are forced to pass through our inner "I". This "I" is what refracts what is seen. How the lens of the eye refracts color to the retina, which perceives what we see. If the lens refracts in a wrong way, then our vision becomes worse, although the reality itself does not change. Since we all have this lens - "I" strongly distorts, then we see badly. And since we don’t understand that the point is in the “I”, but we want to see well, then we put on glasses, instead of paying attention to these reasons for the distortion - our “I”. And then we convince ourselves that what we see in our glasses is the most real reality. Instead of determining where these distortions are in ourselves, changing our vision, comprehending the objective reality of this world, we, convinced that our understanding is correct, begin to point out to others their distortions, impose our picture of the world on them.

I think that it is no coincidence that Christ says: “First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see how to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”(Matthew 7:5).

Returning to your question, we can say that not only do we distort reality through our imperfect "I", there are also people and organizations that want to make us see the world in a way that is beneficial to them. To do this, there are well-defined methods of manipulating personalities. Initially, in their own selfish interests, they incorrectly explain something to us, reinforcing the words with false arguments that cannot be verified. And we are forced to believe it. Because we do not want or cannot analyze what is offered to us. For this we do not have enough time, desire, knowledge, experience. That is why it is especially easy to manipulate children. They often get into bad company because they don't have the experience to double-check the values ​​being imposed. They have no base to rethink what they heard. For example, a child may be approached by a person and asked to steal something for candy. With an adult, try to reverse this. Most likely, it will not work, because an adult knows about the possible consequences, about bringing to criminal responsibility, and most importantly, that a candy is not a value for an adult! The child cannot assess the degree of social danger of his actions, and the candy, on the contrary, is a value. Not only with a child such things are possible. Mentally retarded people can also be persuaded to commit a similar act. In particular, patients with Down's disease, because they cannot rethink what was said and evaluate the consequences of their actions. Down can kill a person in order to please and please the one who addressed him with kindness and warmth. Because such treatment is the highest value for him. In order to successfully manipulate a person in his own interests, it is necessary to change his system of values. The success of manipulating a person also directly depends on the degree of intellectual development of the individual, the degree of understanding of the reality of the person being manipulated.

By the way, this is why during transitional periods of time (like ours) manipulators need to reduce the intellectual level and degree of education of the people they are going to control. Smart and educated people are very difficult to manipulate. But, having lowered the intellectual and educational level of human development to a primitive, to an animal, it becomes easy to distort reality, and, accordingly, it becomes easy to manage. Manipulation will be especially successful if it is also possible to impose on a person the primitive values ​​​​needed by the manipulator, while simultaneously destroying the spiritual ones that make a person a person.

When these three conditions are met, man is reduced to an animal. And any dog ​​can be trained with a piece of sausage. Look: the intelligence of a dog is animal + the value in the form of sausage that the dog takes. And this is how they start training a primitive person, From groups of people a herd is obtained. Only animals do not feel manipulation.

The same thing is happening to people today.

If we want to manipulate a mass of people, as I said, it will be necessary for us to impose some value on them. For example, let's imagine that we have an artel for the production of brooms. How can we enslave people and manipulate them by distorting their ideas? It is clear that this is practically impossible. But if we inspire people that brooms are their main, most important value in life, by imposing this opinion through the media, we will succeed. We will say that not dollars, but brooms have enduring value! We will instill in people's heads the idea that they store brooms for a rainy day, blow the dust off them, betray each other for the sake of brooms. We will convince them that brooms are the guarantee of well-being, the measure of our prestige, we will convince people that those who do not have brooms are not a person! If we succeed in instilling these attitudes in people, then we will dominate them. And, it would seem, we did not do much - we just changed their value system.

None of these items are valuable! This value is only for those who could convince us of this. We understand that true values ​​are love, happiness, understanding, health, harmony inside and outside. And we understand that money can't buy it! Moreover, if we consider money the greatest value, being in this animal-dollar fever, we most often just lose it all! Because of this, we do not see life, we suffer. What is happening to us?

Nothing special. They just put glasses on us, distorting reality. You know, they did the same thing to us that they do to donkeys, to which they tie a carrot in front of the muzzle, but which they cannot reach. The donkey is trying to catch up with its value, and the one who wants to ride a donkey rides comfortably. True, this donkey does not receive happiness, health, understanding and love. Unfortunately, so are we.

If money did not seem to be such a great value (and this has never happened before), then manipulation would not be possible. And this value was imposed on us by those who need to sell their goods. Look, for colorful cut pieces of paper, people kill each other, betray, abandon children and parents. Is it normal? It reminds me a lot of dog training. About who is the trainer in this case, we will not talk in this topic, but the fact that the trainer distorts the reality of the dog through a piece of sausage is beyond doubt. And if we take into account that everyone, to one degree or another, tries to manipulate others (consciously and subconsciously), distorting reality, then the problem arises globally. And real vision begins with the fact that you understand that you cannot see reality because of the distortions of the “I” and the distortions introduced into you from the outside. And if you don’t want to admit it, then you put on glasses that help create the illusion that you have good, albeit subjective, vision.

- It turns out that glasses are worn in order to feel comfortable in this world. Is there any other benefit to them?

When a person wears glasses, he understands the world. Glasses smooth out these distortions of reality, allow you not to think about them. The benefit of wearing glasses is that, having put them on, a person may not think about correcting his own view of the world, because if you really look at things, you will have to understand your own imperfection, accept the imperfection of the world, look for an opportunity to change, rethink a lot.

It's always hard for us to admit our mistakes. It is always easier to insist on one's own opinion, even if it is erroneous, than to change oneself. Change is always hard to come by. They involve hard inner work on oneself, which is not known how it will end. Not everyone wants to look for strength in themselves for serious inner work on themselves. Therefore, it is easier to inspire yourself with an idea of ​​​​the world as you want to see it. Glasses will help with this. In this case, we act according to the principle “Do not bend under the changing world, let better world bend under us." And in order not to change ourselves, we adjust the world for ourselves in our own fantasies. Only reality does not bend under us and will not bend. At one point, she will simply break another glasses for us. And we'll start moaning about how bad the world is. Only it is necessary to blame one's own distortions, and not the world. And the sooner we understand this, the less pain the next crisis will bring us.

- Is it possible to bring concrete examples to what has been said?

- Can. Take, for example, groups based on a certain ideology: skinheads, goths, emo, etc. It is clear that each representative of such an association refracts reality in his own way. Skinheads do not need to understand their own motives for behavior, nor do they need to correct their internal distortions. It's hard. No need to think about who is behind their organization, what are the goals of those who lead the process. Everything is so clear – you have to beat black! Why do we need to beat blacks? It's not clear, but correct. There is just a goal to reach. This is very beneficial for those who manage this process in their own interests. Maybe this just coincides with the interests of those blacks who need to remove their fellow countrymen - competitors. And who themselves pay for it through those who manage the skins. But for ordinary people it doesn't matter.

The same can be attributed to emo, goths, supporters political parties, all sorts of fanatics, sectarians. In the end, I will say that if you yourself do not try to control the situation, then you give this control to others. If you yourself do not want to see the reality, then you will see the reality that others will give you. But it will be distorted already in their interests.

– Do our feelings affect reality distortions?

“People are made up of the rational and the irrational. Reason is rational, and feelings are just that which cannot be rationalized. The realm of feelings is a subjective realm. This fact is very easy to prove: for example, you like some dish, but I don’t like it. If we start discussing it, we won't come to an agreement. Seafood may please me and be disgusting to you. That is, we cannot discuss their taste. I will be absolutely convinced that this is the most delicious thing in the world, and you refuse to even try it. This is the realm of the irrational.

Our feelings are not supported by anything. They just arise. And the person himself is already beginning to feed them. Everyone meets with the fact that a person consciously makes a choice in favor of his feelings. And the distortion of the picture of the world is caused mainly by emotions and feelings. This is the area that distorts reality the most. This is exactly what affects our lens - "I". It is from the feelings that we take for truth that further distortions occur. Feelings, being an integral part of our "I", can often contradict common sense and the real state of affairs. Therefore, feelings should not be trusted so much.

– But after all, people who are doing well, do not need to escape from reality. Is not it so?

- No one is good. We all have certain constructs, values, feelings on which we rely. And we are trying from our ideas and beliefs (it doesn’t matter how close they are to reality) to create an environment around us that is understandable and comfortable for us.

If a person goes into an unknown forest, which can be likened to our world, he must be given a real, undistorted map. If he is given the wrong map, he will not be able to navigate the world. The correct map used to be given by a culture that was based on religion. (In general, culture comes from the word "cult"). So, then the basic guidelines were given to us at birth. We were given an old reliable map tested by hundreds of generations before us.

Now we ourselves refuse it, believing that we are smarter than those who compiled and checked it. I'm talking about Christianity. Therefore, we are forced to acquire these guidelines, values, meaning throughout our lives. Unfortunately, it is far from always possible to compile and verify this map yourself. It is often not clear from which garbage he took certain settings and guidelines, but these are HIS settings. He relies on them and considers them the most correct. The picture of reality is distorted due to this, what these attitudes are based on is unclear. The man got lost. But it is very difficult for him to admit that HIS picture is wrong. Moreover, he will argue with the fact that the old and proven card is good. And until he gets into a severe crisis, he will not change them. It is possible that after the crisis he will take a proven card. But only if he recognizes the unreliability of the one that brought him into the crisis.

Not every person can critically perceive the information that is offered to him. Not everyone can turn off their emotions and draw the right conclusions. This is extremely hard work! This is self-change! It is much easier to say that I am right about everything, that this is white, and that is black.

That's where it all starts. Distortion of self-image!

Those who decide to commit suicide often have a distortion of ideas about the world, it appears in gloomy colors. But a person never thinks about the fact that if he himself is imperfect, if everyone around is so imperfect, then why should the world be perfect? Why are you surprised by the world you live in?

If you don't follow the rules traffic and you see that other people do not observe them, why are you surprised at the number of accidents, accidents? They are very logical and natural.

Everyone has distortion. In people different ages, different family and social status, material well-being. If you don’t want to be deceived, and be on someone’s errand, and to be pulled by the strings, then you have to work, you have to try to understand something. And that means spending time, effort and energy. Many do not want to do this. Laziness and pride make a person a slave to these distortions.

Once again I will say that we are all objects of manipulation. Everyone wants to be sure of something. And everyone wants to accept some unrealistic attitudes from the outside in order to simplify his life, not to think for himself. The only way to destroy these attitudes is to think and analyze the correspondence of these suggested attitudes to reality. It is also necessary to acquire a lot of knowledge, to learn to recognize the incorrectness of the acquired knowledge and one's understanding of reality. This is primarily blocked by pride. It is extremely difficult to admit that I was wrong and my opinion is not true. This hurts our "I", which is the center of the whole world. "I" is in the center, and a theatrical action unfolds around, in which the actors play their roles

- In addition to pride, a person also has a fear that the attitudes adopted will turn out to be wrong.

- Yes. This is what we were talking about. A person in such a situation begins to think: “What if I need to reconsider my views? What if they turn out to be false? I'll have to go through the nightmare of the crisis again. And my foundation will go from under my feet. Here is a suitable analogy for this situation. None of us likes renovations in the apartment. Everyone loves an apartment AFTER renovation, but not the process itself. Repair is sometimes compared to a fire. This is an extremely unfortunate occurrence. Not every person wants to change something.

But repair is just a change in the external environment. And such changes, in fact, are not so painful. They can be experienced. And when we are talking about a change in the inner core, then the sensations are extremely painful. Not a single person will gladly go to the operation. Even prophylactic. He will look for other possible means of treatment. And again, the operation is an intervention in the body, not in the soul. Again, we are talking about the outer shell, the changes of which are not so critical.

And, of course, there is a fear of making a mistake, of taking the wrong step in your change.

To avoid this, you need to understand where this distortion is, what you want to get from your new state, where you will take resources, which path to take, how to find out intermediate milestones, etc.

And this is where religion comes to the rescue. There, all the algorithms, goals, problems of change, landmarks were written down a long time ago. All this has been tested and confirmed by millions of people. There are all the methodological guides on what to strive for, how to transform yourself, how to do it, etc. I recommend using. I have seen a lot of people following this path correctly.

- There is an expression "You can not look at the world too soberly, otherwise you will get drunk." Have you ever tried, on the contrary, to help a person put on rose-colored glasses so that the world does not seem very scary? Or replace black glasses with pink ones?

“People are afraid to take the world soberly. And that is why they want to hide in illusions and distortions, particular cases of which are addictions such as alcohol, drugs, gambling addictions, etc. Gambling addiction, alcoholism very well allow you to distort reality, allow you to avoid a collision with it. Not for long, but still. Hiding in illusions, a person tries to escape into his unreal world, hide in it, feel more comfortable.

It's very similar to when Small child, covering his eyes with his palms, he thinks that no one sees him. The logic is simple: If I don't see the world, then the world doesn't see me either. This is the logic we try to live by. But if it seems to us that we have left reality, then reality never leaves us. Our children's games with her only delay for a while the collision with her.

And at the moment of such a collision (and this usually happens in crises), rose-colored glasses are broken against reality. Glasses fly in all directions, it seems that the world is collapsing. And it is at this moment that we have a great opportunity to look at the world realistically. But we are so used to looking at the world through glasses that we are doing something stupid again. And now we change pink glasses to black ones. And again we convince ourselves that reality is black, terrible, hopeless. And again we do not want to see without glasses. Now black. It would seem that everything is not so bad. If a person is comfortable with rose-colored glasses with a certain amount of diopter and distortion capabilities, let him wear them. And someone is comfortable wearing black or purple. Why bother them?

But again I will say that the trouble is that the reality is something else! And if you put on glasses that distort distance, space, light, then when you, for example, cross the road, you don’t see anything or you see incorrectly, and you will most likely be hit by a car.

The world does not wear glasses. That's the conflict! Distorted people can be compared to drunk people. They are in their vision, in their world, in their color.

That is why I am a supporter of the fact that the world should be viewed without glasses. And it's pointless to change one point for another. Because reality is constantly changing. We have to adapt to it, to change something in many ways. Start the processes of change within yourself. And that's why people try to get away from reality. They don't want to change, take responsibility for their lives

And glasses are such an excuse that allows you to do nothing.

The world is black. So why change anything? I am good, but the world around is black, people are bad. Or the same situation with rose-colored glasses. Moreover, why dig into yourself? Still good! Why see the real world, real problems?

The glasses themselves are the solution. He dressed them - everything is black and nothing is visible. Or put on pink ones - and everything is fine.

- Do you somehow help people get rid of distortions, take off their glasses and open their eyes?

“I don’t try to take off people’s glasses and force them to open their eyes. This is ethically wrong. If a person wants to believe in something, I cannot take away this faith from him.

But I try to make a person think about reality. To do this, I ask many questions that destroy his stereotypes. In order to answer them, he is forced to think for himself, he must begin to doubt that his vision of the world was correct. And often it works out. But to take off glasses or leave them - a person must decide for himself. It's his choice. It is a question of his responsibility to himself for how he decides to see the world. This is the question of his future life.

In my work, I never try to break these glasses. It is not safe for humans. By tearing glasses off a person by force, you can drive him to suicide. If instead of rose-colored glasses you don't give a person a normal idea of ​​the world, then it's better not to rip them off by force.

- That is, absolutely all people should see the world realistically?

No, there are rare exceptions to this rule.

During my work at the oncology center, I saw many cases when rose-colored glasses are absolutely contraindicated to take off. Solzhenitsyn also described this in the Cancer Ward: “And here, in the clinic, (the patient) is already sucking an oxygen bag, he can barely move his eyes, and with his tongue he proves everything: I won’t die! I don't have cancer." And I saw such patients. They lie in the oncology center for more than one month and convince themselves that they do not have cancer. If you think soberly, it will become clear to the patient, even judging by his condition, that, most likely, he does not have the disease that the doctor reported. But a person is so afraid to face reality that he looks for ways to avoid it, and denies what is already obvious. This is psychological protection. A sane person understands that if you are in such a center, if you are treated with chemotherapy, then you are seriously ill. But doctors try not to injure patients and therefore do not inform them about the prognosis. This is a very big ethical issue in oncology. So far, it does not have an unambiguous solution. Most specialists agree that it is necessary to tell the patient about his disease, but carefully, gradually, taking into account what he wants to know and is ready to perceive himself. It is necessary to tell the truth, but not impose it in those rare cases when the patient is not ready to accept it.

It is not necessary to speak directly and thoughtlessly about the prognosis to the relatives of the patient. Although to speak or not to speak about the imminent death of the patient, nothing will change from this - the person will die anyway. And the injury will still be there. But no one has the heart to tell their loved ones directly about this in advance. No one takes responsibility for breaking those glasses. And after all, in principle, you can make it even worse by breaking them untimely. A person must be prepared in some way. He observes deterioration, a certain readiness to accept the death of a loved one is already forming inside him, he already admits such a thought ...

Or I don't know any oncologist who could approach the patient's parents and inform them that their child will die and that he has only a few days or months to live. You can't say it directly! This is a major trauma for parents. That is, in certain and rare cases, these rose-colored glasses must be preserved.

But usually we are faced with other situations. We are trying to take off the glasses, and the person who has them does not want to do this. Even though it hurts himself a lot.

All people have experienced this. So, for example, you tell your friend something unpleasant about her young man, and she tells you this: “Why did you tell me about this ?! You hurt me! It was fine without you!” A blow has been dealt to the idea, to the security of opinion, to the construct, to the stereotype. A blow to the "pink" representation of a person. And this person begins to react aggressively to such words ...

You also have to think whether to do it or not. Depending on what result it can lead to.

So there is no unequivocal decision on whether to take off glasses from another or not. But it is absolutely certain that in any case it is necessary to remove them from your eyes! If you yourself are in rose-colored glasses, then you cannot take off glasses from another. You don't see reality. You are in distortion. You can't fix someone's eyesight if you don't see the real picture yourself. And correcting this distortion in oneself is much more difficult than removing glasses from others. But it is a necessary task.

When we hear the phrase: “put on rose-colored glasses”, we imagine a person ...

When we hear the phrase: “put on rose-colored glasses”, we imagine a person who tries to move away from pressing problems, does not want to notice the negative, idealizes the world, sees everything in a pink naive light.

But it turns out rose-colored glasses for our eyes are just what the doctor ordered! They perfectly protect the eyes not only from the “negativity of life”, but also from the harmful rays of the sun. So, let's figure it out - is it worth wearing rose-colored glasses.

Modern fashionistas know that sunglasses are not just a stylish accessory, but also reliable protection for our eyes. In summer, they must be present in our wardrobe, especially on the beach. Active ultraviolet rays pose a serious threat to our vision, can cause retinal burns and sunburn on the delicate, thin skin of the eyelids. Over time, this can lead to swelling, a sharp deterioration in vision.

The color of sunglasses affects not only the image of a person, but also the degree of protection from ultraviolet radiation. Many women, being gentle and romantic by nature, look with admiration towards rose-colored glasses. However, not every young lady decides to purchase them. Rose-colored glasses are quite light, so it seems that they are not able to protect our eyes from ultraviolet radiation.

In fact, pink lenses have a low degree of protection. which is ideal for the city. But for the beach they will be rather weak. Additional tricks help to strengthen the protective properties of pink glasses - a mirror coating that reflects part of the rays or a gradient coating. With a gradient coating, the top of the glasses is darker and the bottom is light pink.

In general, rose-colored glasses are quite comfortable for the eyes and allow you to look at the world with a positive. They are also ideal for people working in bright artificial light. They reflect glare well, so they are also suitable for working with a computer. However, it is still not recommended to wear rose-colored glasses for a long time, because they distort colors. If worn for a long time, they can lead to a change in color perception, which will require treatment.

"Look at the world through rose-colored glasses" - phraseological unit

But what kind of glasses you definitely shouldn’t wear is “pink glasses” in the figurative sense of the word. “To look at the world through rose-colored glasses” means to move away from reality, to perceive reality in an illusory and naive way. This phraseological unit came to us from in English as a characteristic of dreamy people who do not notice shortcomings and idealize everything around.

For an adult, such behavior is unacceptable and fraught with bad consequences. After all, in essence, “Pink glasses are a child's worldview, which is typical for all of us at a young age. Growing up, a person should "take off his rose-colored glasses." The German philosopher Schopenhauer once remarked that a person who looks at the world in a black light is ready for the worst, and therefore makes mistakes much less often than those who look at the world through rose-colored glasses.

I wonder why these idiomatic "glasses" are painted pink? In terms of color psychology, pink is the color of optimism, romance, and nonchalance. It combines love, lightness, tenderness and inspiration. It calms the nervous system and reduces aggressiveness. This explains the meaning of "pink glasses", which allow you to see the world with a happy, childish look.

World through. Ophthalmologists do not advise buying summer optics with colored lenses. Under the bright sun, they are supposedly capable of harming the eyes. How to choose the right one, which not only decorates, but also protects from ultraviolet rays, the correspondent will tell Olga Matveeva.

Fashion trends and designer frames for many are a weighty argument when choosing sunglasses. However, if you think about eye health - much more important specifications. In extreme conditions for the eyes - for example, on a sunny day or on the slopes of mountains - poor-quality glasses can cause corneal burns or, even worse, cataracts. It is especially dangerous to be without sun protection optics on vacation at sea, says MD, ophthalmologist Dmitry Maychuk:

"Glare from the water can really harm the eyes and cause problems - both on the retina and on the cornea. And the same goes for the mountains. In the mountains - especially bright snow, this can be dangerous. If you wear low-quality glasses, you can ruin your eyesight. Here it is very important that the glasses have a UV filter. Usually, all more or less expensive glasses are marked - we are talking about prices over 300-400 rubles per glasses. "

The "UV" badge is usually applied by laser to the temples of glasses or to special stickers on glasses. The level of protection is indicated in the enclosed inserts. There are 5 categories of filters in total: from 0 to 4. For the city, the second or third number is usually recommended. The darkest is intended for highlands and hot countries. So that you do not doubt the quality of glasses, many optics stores have special devices, on which you can check their light transmission and degree of protection. Also, ophthalmologists advise not to be fooled by cheap replicas. famous brands. Such optics, despite the color of the glass, completely transmits ultraviolet rays. "Deceived" pupils under dark lenses expand, thereby taking on the sunstroke. Therefore, the color of the lenses can be any, the main thing is that there is a reliable filter, explains Dmitry Maychuk:

"It all depends on whether there is a "UV filter" marking. The filter can be built into ordinary light glasses, in which there is no tint. Pink and purple glasses may already have a built-in UV filter, so they cannot spoil the eyes. Yellow glasses , on the contrary, serve to enhance vision in bad, foggy, gloomy weather. You should not wear them in the bright sun. "

Therefore, for residents of Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Urals and Siberia, sunglasses are just a fashion accessory.

People with pink glasses see everything differently, the world around them seems brighter. To look at the world through rose-colored glasses is to consciously not perceive the real colors of the world around you. Living in a world of illusions... But these are just illusions. But sooner or later, rose-colored glasses will break on the truth of life and it will hurt. Should you lie to yourself?

In huge pink glasses
Not noticing life's prose,
Love was on heels
In immortality believing seriously.
And fluttering white scarf
She flew like a bold bird.
So in a hurry to take a step
Meet the fairy prince!
And the gentle trail of her perfume
Flowed next, seducing.
And every third was ready
Run after her, forgetting everything.
And the scarf was lost in the clouds
And drifted away to infinity.
In huge pink glasses
Love tried to sink
To eternity.

There is nothing worse than when you stop believing in the voice of your heart and start living by what they say around. In fact, there are always more blind people than sighted people. It’s just that those who actually see the most important things are often asked to take off their rose-colored glasses. But it's just the blind who ask.

Naivety is the most terrible quality of a person. And it is terrible because a person always believes that people are good, sees only their positive sides. And as a result, it turns out that those whom you trust the most, those in whom you see only light, actually blind with this very light and drive knives in the back. And you continue to naively believe that this is not a person on purpose, that he will change and this continues until the “rose-colored glasses” fall off. Then finally comes complete disappointment in people in general, and not all are bad. There are really good people who are always there, always support, who have no thoughts of betrayal or betrayal, but you no longer notice them ... you just already know there is a catch in everything!

“They stubbornly pretended that the world was the center of joy and healthy pleasures, that everything on earth happened in accordance with a dozen or two simple rules which are listed in some wise book. You don't even have to teach them; just being aware that they exist is enough for peace of mind. And I, like a thorn in the eye, constantly reminded that there really are no rules and the life of any living being is always and everywhere in mortal danger.
