The extended metaphor "red tinted glasses" from what i gathered was the different perception and interpretation of people. it shows that people see everything differently and in a way see things in the same light.
In the book it explains two kinds of theories but i think it is more about the upbringing, the empiricist view. The quote "Don't believe everything you see" this shows that people just look at the exterior of things and don't try to see whats under the problem, this relates to the "red tinted glasses" that they can see only half way that they cant see both ways. Also everyone has their own perspectives, which may differ from others and may depend on their culture or upbringing, so there isn't one right answer to what you see.
This can relate to a time in my life where i could not see past peoples feelings... i could not tell if they were angry or sad as i had "the pair of red tinted glasses" on me but now i can see, but of course as humans we can never really learn about everything in this world due to what our senses will limit us to.
