Rose Colored glasses

We tend to get caught up in our own thoughts a lot as humans. The opinions we make are based on background knowledge, and previous experiences. Almost everything we do, make, say, or stand for is based on our own perspective.
The question is why do we as humans make these decisions and opinions based solely on our personal perspective when we know logicly the smart thing to do is to get another's' perspective on something?
Personally my answer to that question is stubbornness. Although we all want to be “correct” about things and have the “right” answer, when it comes to opinion based topics most of the time your ego becomes greater than your want to be correct or right.
What I mean by that is when given a problem or topic with multiple opinions layed out in front of you, we tend to pick the opinion or side based on our personal wants, needs,or thoughts before consoling with another person who has their own personal perspective. Our egos become too fragile to even think it is necessary to get another outlook on situations.
“She sees the world through rose colored glasses'’ a phrase widely used to somehow criticize the optimistic perspective many young women hold on life. We can just look at strangers and personally through our perspectives decide rather or not that person holds a valid perspective on life. Before we even speak to a person we all judge and make inferences on that person's life.
Rose colored glasses aren't so bad and everyone’s perspective is both equally different and important in this world today. Even the most uneducated, lazy, or obnoxious people hold some sort of valuable perspective and out look on the world because of the different life experiences we have each lived through.
The title caught my attention the most! I also feel, we as individuals, often decide to be naive to the truth rather than focusing on the long-term needs. Loved this read !
