  • Yeah, as always, there are both good people and bad people. And others in between.

    But the trauma caused by the bad ones often outweighs the positiveness caused by the good ones, at least in our minds.

    I’ll add that, often, if someone doesn’t understand another person, they might think there is something wrong with the other person. I didn’t at first realize the way you were referring to yourself in the first person, but that doesn’t mean there was anything wrong with it. I accepted that I was confused, and then I thought about why I was confused. By thinking about why, I was able to understand.

    People who jump to “there’s something wrong” often don’t take the time to understand.

    Sadly, glasses are not BIFL. Think about all the stresses the frames endure: put on and taken off many times a day (often unconsciously), dropped, bumped into things, flexing against our uneven faces - and that’s not even taking into account UV exposure, atmospheric contaminants, accidents, and changes in prescription.

    Zenni is great because the glasses are cheap and well made. Metal frames are recyclable. Plastic lenses may or may not be recyclable, but will wear out over time. And even though they’re cheap, my Zennis last me as long as the expensive pairs I used to get.

    It’s good to BIFL wherever we can, but glasses are always going to wear out.
