In Chapter 25 of the book, "the red tinted bsunglasses" give the idea to us is what we actually perceive around us is not actually what we see , it is what we want to see/perceive in the world. The colour of the sunglasses "red tinted" would show how there is a shade that is blocking people from seeing the world as it really is in todays day to day lives as all people perceive the world very differently compared to others. People perceive things in a different way compared to other, this is probably caused by the influence from others in order to feel independent and unique in the very competitive world today.
The idea of feeling unique and independent is initially influenced by others for example if everyone was the same the world would be boring as well as it is like you are being controlled which no one wants to be. I believe that the "red tinted glasses" give us an idea of being different to portray things in a different way in order to feel like a normal person not like a dog who only copies others.
How we potray different things could also depend on religious issues and what is wrong and what is right in the world. Many people have different religious cultures and backgrounds making them potray the world in a different way than other types of people (non-religious). Religion makes people believe that the world was started by god but people with no actual religious belief would think that the earth was always there and was not created by anyone or anything. Kant's idea of potrayal of many different aspects and things of life is a very good and convincing arguement. I believe this is because their are many different matters and opinions on how people potray the world today with some thinking that life and the world is a gift and should be lived to the full and others thinking that you live for death and nothing more.
Many people have often thought about why people perceive differently to others. I think this is caused by our mind creating different illusions of how we see different things as we want to see the best and possibly worse of every different aspect of the world and in life.
In conclusion, I believe that the so-called "red tinted sunglasses" are like how people live in the world today , differently from others in order to feel unique and special. The glasses show how we are blocked from reality but without this illusion of what we see before us there is physically and mentally no life .How we portray different things is what makes people special and unique and without this difference everyone will be the same and life will be pretty boring. The glasses on the whole symbolized as meaning that people portray things differently as this is how life is made special.

If these glasses make each and every one of us feel special and unique, who put them there in the first place? Why are we being blocked from the "real world", is there something we shouldn't know?
the glasses symbolize how we are blocked from accesing certain info in the world.This is probably because we will never understand its true meaning or how to use it in life.
We are blocked from the so-called "real world" as people look at the world as paradise, they do not understand what they are actually seeing as they get used to it the more time they spend in the world thinking that everything is fine. The "illusion" is themselves stopping them from seeing the world as it actually is.
The glasses in the book were probably in the real world started by fate. fate probably meant for people to not know evrything or see things in different ways , it was the destiny of people to think differently and see the world from a different perspective!!
