Rose Glasses and the Effects of Seeing Through Them
The idiom of "seeing through rose colored glasses" is often used in a negative way. People who are described as such are often seen as too positive and seeing the glass half full at all times. These people are often seen as dreamers who can't see life for what it really is. They can be seen as blinded by the lens through which they choose to see the world. However, the effect of seeing the world in a more positive hue may have long lasting positive effects on the person wearing those glasses. It may be that if we were all to see our daily lives in a rosier color, we may experience a more content overall state of well-being.

2. Happiness- Seeing things through a rosie pair of glasses does not leave too much room for seeing things under a negative light. This allows the person to feel an overall sense of content that is rarely disturbed.
