For those who have died in the light of day, I have long wanted to rant about them. Today, let me realize my long-standing wish.

Some people may curiously ask: "What is death by exposure to light, is it a ghost?" What do you think? Of course it is not a ghost, but a living person. To me, those people who have been exposed to exposure to death are Those who dare not show their true colors to others, who must wear contact lenses when going out, and who must Publish photos when posting them. In fact, social networks are so developed now that people who die in public can be seen everywhere. Maybe they are used to it, or they may have been assimilated into it. This ranks. Why do I want to complain about the growing number of teams that are exposed to light and die? Do they have any grudge against me? You still owe me money? Of course not. . . It's because their behavior is too exaggerated and has seriously affected the aesthetics, values ??and world view of society, especially the new generation. Why do you say this? (I will analyze it slowly). Therefore, as this non-mainstream cultural phenomenon becomes more and more rampant today, it is necessary for some people who are still awake and have self-worth and aesthetic judgment to stand up and criticize this heinous behavior of self-deception.

In fact, it is not difficult to find that those people who have been exposed to death mainly focus their attention on their faces. The main purpose is to use their appearance as capital to attract people's attention through various social networks. Get people's attention. I want to say that this is a sign of emptiness, loneliness and coldness? So what are the specific manifestations of death by exposure to light? Next I will analyze it in detail.

First of all, you must wear contact lenses when going out. If you don’t wear contact lenses, you will feel that you are “short-sighted” (because you play with mobile phones online every day, which leads to myopia and dull eyes, you know), and your whole person will look like a short-sighted person. If you are listless, then colored contact lenses are an indispensable weapon for them. As soon as you put on the contact lenses, your eyeballs instantly change from dead fish-eyes to sparkling like grapes. Your eyes become big and bright, and they can rotate 360 ??degrees left and right without any blind spots. (The eyes are the windows to the soul. Can it be brighter by adding an extra piece of glass to the window?) In addition, the sizes and colors of contact lenses are also different. It is actually easier to wear black or brown contact lenses with normal eyeball size. It's not easy to notice. The only difference between wearing one and not wearing it is that your eyes look bright. This is not an exaggeration. The most unacceptable thing is the various other messy colors, such as purple, blue, green, light gray, etc. Do these unique colors really look good when worn? Purple looks like a goblin, blue looks like a foreigner (why don’t you become a good-looking Chinese with yellow skin and dark eyes and become a nondescript foreigner), and green always reminds me of flies and aliens ( Because the eyes of big flies are green), the light gray looks like the eyes of a dead fish (as if it has died eight hundred times). You said that you dress yourself up in all kinds of strange shapes, like the goblins that came out of Journey to the West (none of the goblins in Journey to the West dressed themselves up in such weird ways) or the aliens that came out of Star Wars, is this true? Okay? In addition, if girls can do anything for the so-called "beauty", everyone can understand this. After all, they are girls, and people who love beauty too much are crazy. What I can't understand is that many boys are now starting to wear colored contact lenses. Yeah, especially the new generation born in the 90s and 00s. They make themselves fair and fair, wear contact lenses and have slightly longer hair. It’s really hard to tell the difference between male and female. You said that girls like Li Yuchun are not naturally good-looking. People who look too much like girls will take advantage of the situation to make themselves look like boys. This can be described as "handsome", although some people complained: "Women are made of water, men are made of mud, and Li Yuchun is made of cement." SO WHAT, at least it can be described as handsome, at least it looks that way, at least it is very real. You said that the new generation of boys now wear contact lenses and do beauty treatments to make their gender ambiguous. What words do you want us to use to describe it? Use "beautiful?" Use "beautiful?" At least the word "handsome" is obviously no longer used, but there is a new word that can be used, that is "little fresh meat" Haha, is this word really good? In fact, it is tantamount to "sissy" to me. This is actually the result of imitating Korean playboys. Korean playboys dress themselves up like that because they are celebrities and rely on their faces to make a living. They do this for commercial purposes. You said these boys in ordinary life are neither Celebrities don't rely on their reputation to make a living, so they do this just to attract people's attention? I don’t think I would look at you twice. Even if I did, I would think you are perverted.

Now let’s not talk about it from the perspective of aesthetics, but from the perspective of safety and health without any prejudice, let’s analyze the specific harm of wearing contact lenses when going out every day. As far as I know, the prices on the market vary depending on the brand of contact lenses. Generally speaking, the price is about two or three hundred, the good ones range from six to seven hundred, and the worst ones range from tens to one hundred. Good-priced and high-quality colored contact lenses can have an impact on the eyes, not to mention that many students buy average or inferior quality contact lenses in order to save money. Is this to install glass in the eyes? It's basically putting bombs in your eyes.

Let’s not talk about the quality of the contact lenses, because all contact lenses are harmful to the eyes. No matter how big the brand is, no matter how good the quality is, there are risks. Even the contact lenses with high oxygen permeability and high water content, because of the chemical composition Too much, as the saying goes, medicine is three parts poisonous. Color contact lenses also need to be soaked in care solution every day, and the ingredients of the care solution are all antiseptic ingredients. If you put this thing in the sensitive and fragile Can it be put into the eyes without causing harm to the eyes? Moreover, due to poor wearing habits, eye sensitivity and weather conditions, it can cause congestion and inflammation of the eyes. In severe cases, it can lead to hypoxic deformation of the cornea, eye infection, corneal perforation and other serious eye diseases, and even permanent blindness.

There are reports on the Internet that a girl wears contact lenses every day and doesn’t even take them off when she goes to bed at night. It is said that you cannot wear underwear 24 hours a day if it is something outside your body, let alone something in your eyes. Is it like drinking poison to quench thirst and risk your life? (To be precise, I don’t need eyes anymore.)

After complaining about Perfect Eye Storm, let me complain about those P-picture maniacs.

We often see in WeChat Moments, QQ Space, Sina Weibo and other social microblogs that there are always some people who like to post photos of themselves, even posting them every day (in fact, I also post them occasionally, But I definitely don’t post pictures, this is my principle), just post them, it won’t hurt you, but the key is, the photos you post are always so unreal, because they always have to use various This kind of P-picture software requires you to carefully "carve" yourself before you can be born, and the general photo mode is like this: the eyes are big (the eyes are infinitely magnified, and a line of squinting can turn into Barbie eyes), the nose Tall, fair face (acne removal microdermabrasion), small and thin face (face slimming tool, powerful enough to make a shoehorn-like face into an awl), slightly thick lips (appear sexy) like this With such a cute and sexy look, she just turned a living female loser into a goddess. Some netizens joked that "no matter how powerful plastic surgery is, it can't compete with China's PS." Some netizens even launched a photo editing contest online some time ago. The original version given was Sister Furong, which meant to see who could photoshop Sister Furong to the highest level. Then everyone privately photoshopped the photos and posted them on their own Weibo. There was a senior figure in photoshopping who turned the ordinary-looking sister Furong into a goddess. As a result, regardless of the competition itself, she was already scolded as a dog. Because you can tell from her skillful skills that she has become a master of porn. It is conceivable that the photos she posts every day are just to deceive others and she underwent major surgery. In addition, there is a person on Sina Weibo who has become famous on the Internet because of his sharp words and ruthless poisonous tongue. He is - save a few words. If you follow him, you will know how much he hates P-pictures. Why does he hate it? Will he become famous? In addition to what I just said, it is actually because he is engaged in an "industry" online, which is to evaluate photos (usually photos of girls who like to take selfies). After these people take the photos, they ask him to give comments and score them. , and Liu Jishou's vicious comments are not polite at all. Liu Jishou not only comments on the photos but also gives scores. Most of them will be given very low scores or even negative numbers. Only girls with pure looks from the Mori girl department can score more than 5, 6, 7. A high score of 8. And generally, photos that have been photoshopped cannot escape his eyes. Once he sees them, he will criticize them without mercy. For example, if a girl had her face photoshopped to make her face look very thin, he would say: "Pixshes her face." What's the point of being like an awl? I really want to stab you to death with your awl-like face." In fact, every time I see pictures that are so extreme, I also want to be merciless. Say something like: "It seems like no one knows what you look like. Does your mother know that you made the picture look like this?" I really don't know what it means, although there is a classic line in "Plastic Surgery Diary" which is "Although people can't Appearance, but you still have to have a bottom line." Here I just want to say: "Although your P-picture skills are very good, you still have to have a bottom line, don't you dare to make your face look like a sharp point? The awl was polished until it was as white as a dead man, and the eyes were as big as a frog."

It is understandable that you would like to play games when you occasionally have nothing to do and post pictures for entertainment, but every time you post a photo, you have to make it big and special, and you won’t give up until you completely change your look. It makes people feel disgusted and helpless, and it feels like a sign of mental unhealthyness. How can you not let people around you know what you look like? Is it interesting to post pictures of yourself all day long that don’t look like you and let others see them and comment on them to praise you for being a beauty? This is just self-deception. People just say something casually to flatter you and you take it seriously, and then you are immersed in the white lies that others weave for you and can't extricate yourself. How difficult is it for you to really not be able to face your own appearance? , do you have to wait until one day when someone says you are ugly to find out that you are really ugly? How is this different from the emperor's new clothes? People you know around you have become immune to your photos and know what you look like, so it’s okay and you can’t deceive them basically. But what about other people you don’t know on the Internet? To them, I think the photo-picture behavior is pure fraud. When people see your photos, you are so beautiful, just like the goddess of the True Erba Sutra, and they are curious about you and have a good impression of you. Even though you are not far away from the photos, Eighteen thousand miles away, but there is still a huge gap. If a netizen asked you to meet, would you dare to go? You are still a little scared in your heart. Who told you to die in front of the light? Just look at the photos and you'll be like a fairy, but when you see him in person, he'll be like a ghost.

I think this kind of behavior is actually quite stupid. We should do the opposite. When posting photos, you should make yourself look ugly. When people who don’t look at you after seeing your photos see you in person, they will think that you are also ugly. Yes, when you suddenly feel good about something, that's when you finally win. Because compared to the situation where I feel good after seeing your photos but feel disappointed or even despair when I see you in person, it should be much better to feel that you are not good after seeing your photos but being instantly moved after seeing you in person. . (I would like to emphasize here that what I say is definitely not because I care about appearance. I am stupid and am not a member of the Appearance Association. It is just my helplessness and correction of excessive P-picture behavior).

Actually, if you think about it, is it really interesting for someone who treats P-pictures almost as a career? To be honest, this is just a kind of self-deception, a sign of not being strong enough or even having low self-esteem. In fact, many people are not ugly, they are just popular. Isn’t that enough? So what should we do with those who really don’t have an advantage in appearance? Your mother doesn't dislike you for being ugly, so why should you dislike yourself? Besides, one’s body, hair and skin are all influenced by one’s parents. Not being able to face up to one’s appearance is a sign of being dissatisfied with the genes inherited from one’s parents to some extent. Furthermore, it is a sign of disrespect for one’s parents. In addition, I think one of the reasons for this phenomenon is that my inner cultivation and understanding of things are not perfect, and I lack the expression of my own values. Although I dare not say 100%, I cannot deny the influence of these potential factors. Why? Most of the people who post photos and excessively photoshopped photos every day are idle people with nothing to do. Seriously, people who are really busy with work and have something to do are too busy to be busy. How can they have time to do this? It has no practical meaning. (Except for people who specialize in this kind of work in photography and people who are similar or related to this kind of work), in addition, the reason why these P-picture-like people do this is because they only superficially believe that appearance is very important, and appearance is related to people. The first element of communication, so I did everything I could to beautify my photos in various ways to attract people's attention and attract attention. I slowly became numb and fell deeper and deeper into this vicious circle. . In fact, people with real connotation will not judge a person based on his appearance alone. They know that this approach is stupid, because good-looking people do not necessarily have connotation (idolism), and ugly people do not necessarily have superficiality. (Strong faction), those who look good may not necessarily be a vase (Angel faction), and some who look ugly may also have bad conduct (Devil faction). What's more, people are far more than just these types. The ideas and practices of just judging others by appearance, or trying to use appearance to determine others' judgment of oneself are too ignorant and superficial. Instead of spending time on meaningless P-pictures, it is better to improve your inner cultivation and personality charm. Apart from the above two factors, there is another factor that is the lack of independent opinions and the failure to form one's own values, because many people know that there is no practical significance in doing so, but when they see others doing it on Weibo, they don't do it themselves. Doesn't it seem very old-fashioned, so I just follow the trend and do it myself? This is not scary. The scary thing is that I don't know why I do it, what is the purpose of doing it, and whether it is necessary or not, without thinking at all.

For those who have to wear all kinds of messy colored contact lenses when going out, the phenomenon of P pictures becoming popular is actually a kind of evil trend. Good people should not pretend to be anything, and normal people should not pretend to be cool. Pretend to be cool. If you are struck by lightning, it is best to insert a lightning rod for this group of people who will die in the light of day. These are all pretentious expressions. Don't say it's not, it's because it's not your turn. For example, if you are going on a blind date with a girl you have never met before, you each look at each other's photos. When you look at the girl's photo, wow, a goddess (P passed) (Picture), I fell in love immediately, but when it came time to officially meet, I looked at her and thought, Damn, where is the goddess we promised in the photo? This woman must be a parallel import. . . . Don’t say that this phenomenon does not exist. In this era where PS technology is better than plastic surgery, it is better for boys to be careful when dating. In order to avoid the embarrassment when meeting, it is best not to believe photos. As the saying goes, I would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than boys. What I want to say here is that in today’s era where pornographic photos are the norm, I would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than photos of people. (Except for the photos of wanted criminals, there must be no one in this photo) Because, I found that even some ID photos are not so real now, let alone others (outrageous).

If this kind of behavior of wearing colored contact lenses when going out and making photos look like a god is in the minority and has no impact on the values ????and aesthetics of the new generation, then it has nothing to do with anyone and it will not hinder it anyway. Others, but now this kind of behavior is subtly affecting the aesthetics and values ????of those born in the 90s and 00s, and has a serious impact. Most of the people walking on the street wearing various strange colors of contact lenses are born in the 90s and 00s. They open Weibo and post photos every day. Those in the p picture are also people of this age group. Do you think that if this trend of aesthetic values ??continues to develop, will the aesthetic values ??of the entire society be subverted in the future? In fact, it has been slowly subverted. Regarding aesthetics, It is said that most of the so-called beauties nowadays are based on the standard of middle parting. They have a small pointed face, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly thick lips. People with this model are everywhere on the street, just like mass production in a factory. Many people who have had plastic surgery will probably be disappointed with the products that come out with the same specifications. As for values, many people now feel that this is just a society based on appearance.

If you have a face, you have everything. If you don't have a face, you have no chance. Therefore, people are often advertised on the Internet as tall, rich, handsome, fair, and beautiful. What is the true sense of being tall, rich, handsome, and fair? As a man, great wisdom is the highest, if he is ignorant, he is not frightened by favors and humiliations, great love in his heart brings blessings to the world, he is rich, he is great, he is wise, he is brave, he is handsome. As a woman, it is white to be clean and self-sufficient, to be financially independent is to be wealthy, and to be beautiful both internally and externally. Therefore, why not improve your inner self-cultivation and temperament to add points to your dissatisfied appearance? Why not spend time on study and work to enhance your own strength instead of spending time on P pictures, which is a waste of time and has little meaning? on things. This kind of superficial and distorted aesthetics and values ??based only on appearance is too scary. It is like a float that only floats on the water without a deep foundation. Sooner or later it will be submerged and destroyed.

We Can't we be stronger on the inside, be true to ourselves, and accept our own appearance? Can't we be more assertive and not be assimilated by non-mainstream culture? Can’t we have the obligation to resist the erosion of mainstream values ??by these non-mainstream cultures? No matter how crazy this society is, I believe there are always some people who have their own backbone, correct values ??and aesthetics. You can disagree with every word I say, but you cannot deprive me of my right to speak.
