Rose-tinted

She has always seen the good in people (even when it was not there). She still does - it is part of who she is.

When the veil was pulled from her eyes, she saw the world around her for what it was, including the bad and the ugly - in others, and herself. And in this new light, she became what she would never see; she became the things that she had always feared.

She started hate campaigns against the new meat - TWO of them, one after another, encouraging the tentative voices of discontent. Understandably, they were not particularly likeable people from the start. (Though, interestingly, the others warmed up to the first one eventually. The verdict is still out on the second.) I wonder if anyone realises that this is also the same person who, otherwise, has been spending a lot of time generating positive feelings and building team spirit - around herself.

I understand now, why the rose-tinted glasses should not be taken from some people - for their own sanity and that of other people around them. The ones who do not have the capacity to understand the truth are just as dangerous.
