Spectacles

This pair of spectacles is a curious thing. Obviously it changes my appearance, but more than that. I believe that glasses absorb energy from a person, or more accurately, keeps it inside. I think that perhaps the character Cyclops from X-Men is actually symbolic of this. That somehow, this vizier, this frame, keeps our emotions inside, it seals the human expression in.

When a romantic moment arises, when you're engulfed in pure emotion, when you stare down a person intensely and with fiery passion (again romance), taking the specs off makes it all the more real.
Let's look at other examples.

In popular culture
With specs -> Clark Kent the Geek. Without specs -> Superman

In my life
With specs -> Calm and collected Choir Chairman Myo. Without specs -> Angry, disappointed, pump choir Myo

Stereotype
With specs -> Graphic Designer. WIthout specs -> Fine Artist
Just sayin~

Visually, a person changes from passionate to intelligible. From a heart to a head person. The facial expression is restraint, the person cold and calculative. A cool demeanor from a warm and raw individual. That's right, spectacles take away that individualism. I was joking with some of my classmates...
*Puts specs on* "Hi I'm a student from Singapore who studies quite a lot"
*Takes specs off* "I'M AN INDIVIDUAL WITH FEELINGS AND OPINION"
*Repeat*
Or this
*Put specs on* "Nerd"
*Takes specs off* "LI KEEN"
*Repeat cycle in quick succession*
Garnered a whole lot of laughter :D. But really the point is this, spectacles keep. Me. In. Check. Freedom of vision is a wonderful thing that kids need to cherish.
