The Magic Glasses: A Gift, A Curse, and the Truth You Can’t Unsee

“What's dangerous is when the universe picks you to put the magic glasses on, but there are rules that come with them 

1. You can never take them off

2. You never see things as they are supposed to be, you see things as they ARE 

3. You cannot force anyone to wear them.”

~Dick Gregory

From the moment we’re born, we’re handed a script, a way of seeing the world passed down through generations. It’s like being given a pair of ordinary glasses and told, “This is how the world looks. This is all there is.” And so, we wear them, never questioning the view they provide.

Then, one day, the Universe arrives at your doorstep. It offers you a new pair of glasses—call them magical, call them transformative. At first, you hesitate. Change is unsettling, after all. But curiosity wins. You take off the old lenses, slip on the new ones, and suddenly, everything shifts.

The world you once knew dissolves. No longer do you see what you were supposed to see. Instead, you see reality - raw, unfiltered, stripped of illusions. It’s a revelation that fills you with both wonder and unease. Like Alice tumbling into Wonderland, you’ve stumbled into a deeper truth, one that leaves you awestruck yet strangely unmoored. The world is the same, but you’re not - and there’s no going back.

The magic glasses reveal the truth - maybe the dangerous rise of fascism, the far-right, and Neo-Nazis, ideologies built on division, hatred, and the erosion of democracy. They show us the echoes of history, the same patterns of propaganda and authoritarianism that led to World War II’s devastation. With this clarity, we cannot look away. We must push back, resist, and protect our world from repeating the past. These glasses are a call to action: silence is complicity, and safeguarding freedom, equality, and justice demands courage and collective effort. The truth is clear; now we must act.
