Today, by a person who shall remain nameless, in a place that will remain unknown, I was a victim of discrimination. Why? Because I was wearing glasses.
The details of how and why are unimportant, but what really struck a chord with me was how stupid it was.
Glasses are nothing more than framed glass, usually in fashionable colours or designs, that aid sight. They do not make you more or less intelligent, they do not render you incapable of carrying out a task, and they do not transform faces from beautiful to ugly, well presented to scruffy.
So why do so many people feel that if a person wears glasses they have the right to call them four eyes or say that they look stupid? Would you criticise a deaf man's hearing aid? That sad answer to that is probably yes the more i think about. The type of people who judge others in this way are just mindless individuals, insulting others to make themselves feel more important. They are not worth the tears.
So, Glasses look hot, and I intend to wear mine more often! Xxx
