Perfectionists, of course, can’t make everything around themselves perfect. But they can make their homes look as close to perfect as possible. Perfectionists see the pleasure in “attractive” wires and even coffee bubbles.
We at Bright Side used to think that nothing in this world was perfect, but these 20+ photos came very close to ideal. And in the bonus, you will find an amazing coincidence.

brightside--2020-12-17--Why Do We Like Villains More Than Heroes Nowadays

Since we were kids , we ’ ve been taught the difference between what ’ s good and what ’ s bad .
That there are good people like Cinderella and bad people like The Evil Queen .
But the world is not black and white anymore , even in the movies .

And there are reasons why we ’ re so enamored by them .
Studies have proven that we are more likely to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us .
Good guys are often portrayed in movies as nearly perfect , and it ’ s hard to relate to them .
We all have our own imperfections and a dark side .
So , villains are often more realistic than good guys are .
At the same time , modern antagonists aren ’ t 100 % evil .
They ’ re complex and troubled characters who have their own story .
Everyone hates Dolores Umbridge from the Harry Potter movies because she ’ s unreasonably malicious .
There ’ s no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
She ’ s just self-serving .
But many antagonists actually have their point which we see , and often even accept .
This works especially effectively when we see the villain from the very beginning of the movie .

We see what they ’ re going through and what they ’ re thinking , and we can ’ t help but empathize with them .
But at the same time , they push boundaries .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and behave according to social norms .
What ’ s special about antagonists is that they don ’ t think about society at all .
They act the way they want to , without caring about anybody else ’ s expectations or being limited by them .
They won ’ t say nice things just to be nice .
They ’ ll tell you what they think .
They ’ re free , and that ’ s what we probably want for ourselves .
So , we admire them for it .
Every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or weird , we want to know why .
And that makes us curious about them , about their past , and about what they ’ re even thinking .
They ’ re controversial , and we like to analyze these characters and their actions .
They ’ re not pure evil , and modern movies do a good job of emphasizing this .
There ’ s something that made them evil or something that won ’ t let them be good .
There ’ s some internal conflict constantly going on within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We all know what usually happens to good guys .

Since we were kids, we’ve been taught the difference between what’s good and what’s bad. That there are good people like Cinderella and bad people like The Evil Queen. But the world is not black and white anymore, even in the movies. Leaving behind Batman and Superman, we’re getting more and more obsessed with “bad guys” like Harley Quinn and Joker. And there are reasons why we’re so enamored by them.
Here at Bright Side, we are sometimes tempted by the dark side too. And we’ve decided to figure out why.
Villains are realistic.
Studies have proven that we are more likely to sympathize with characters who are similar to us. Good guys are often portrayed in movies as nearly perfect, and it’s hard to relate to them. We all have our own imperfections and a dark side. So, villains are often more realistic than good guys are.
At the same time, modern antagonists aren’t 100% evil. They’re complex and troubled characters who have their own story. Everyone hates Dolores Umbridge from the Harry Potter movies because she’s unreasonably malicious. There’s no story and no logic behind her behavior. She’s just self-serving. But many antagonists actually have their point which we see, and often even accept.
This works especially effectively when we see the villain from the very beginning of the movie. We’re put in the same shoes as the character and see their story. We see what they’re going through and what they’re thinking, and we can’t help but empathize with them.
But at the same time, they push boundaries.
In society, we usually follow the rules and behave according to social norms. What’s special about antagonists is that they don’t think about society at all. They act the way they want to, without caring about anybody else’s expectations or being limited by them. They won’t say nice things just to be nice. They’ll tell you what they think. They’re free, and that’s what we probably want for ourselves. So, we admire them for it.
We’re curious about them.
Every time we see a person acting bad or weird, we want to know why. And that makes us curious about them, about their past, and about what they’re even thinking. They’re controversial, and we like to analyze these characters and their actions. They’re not pure evil, and modern movies do a good job of emphasizing this. There’s something that made them evil or something that won’t let them be good. There’s some internal conflict constantly going on within the character that we just find fascinating.
Villains are unpredictable.
We all know what usually happens to good guys. They do the right thing and then they win. They survive, beat the antagonist, and save the world. But we never know what will happen to the villain. And that makes us care about them during the whole story. It’s what gets us hooked on watching them through to the end. Also, you can’t predict their actions. There are not many options aside from the right thing to do for the hero. But there’re many absolutely crazy possibilities for the villain that we couldn’t come up with even in our wildest dreams. And this makes us interested in watching them.
They make us face our own dark side.
We are not perfect. Finding similarities between ourselves and the antagonists makes us unveil our own dark secrets and face our own dark side. But at the same time, the characters we start to associate ourselves with aren’t real. So, these discoveries don’t threaten our positive image of ourselves, yet still keep us interested.

Some seemingly harmless everyday actions may have negative long-term side effects for our skin. For example, eating red meat often can speed up the aging process and skipping sunscreen when you’re indoors may lead to pigmentation and older looking skin.
We at Bright Side were curious to find out about the small things that we do daily that may be sabotaging our efforts to keep our skin looking younger.
1. Chewing gum
Many gum chewers have a pattern of wrinkles around their mouth, and doctors believe gum is responsible for this. When we chew, we may overuse our muscles, and this can lead to fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
2. Running
When exercising, runners burn off fat beneath the layers of their skin. The loss of fatty tissue may make their wrinkles deeper. Moreover, many runners spend long hours outdoors without proper sun protection, exposing their skin to sun damage. If you’re an outdoor runner, it’s better to use waterproof sunblock, because sweat reduces the protection level of the sunscreen faster.
3. Staring on your smartphone
Using a cell phone can make you look prematurely older. Medical experts suspect the continual downward gaze toward the phone may lead to more lines on the neck that you would not have developed otherwise.
4. Passing on sunglasses
80% of the visible signs of aging, including wrinkles, are caused by sun exposure. When you squint, it makes the grooves in your crow’s feet deeper. And if you try to focus on anything with a light in your eyes, it may deepen the wrinkles between your eyebrows as well.
5. Sipping through a straw
Drinking coffee or tea through a straw can keep you from getting stains on your teeth, but it may cause lines to form around your lips. Although it won’t change your lips significantly, people who are prone to lip wrinkling should avoid using straws really often. The repetitive muscle motion breaks down the collagen around your mouth, leading to more creases.
6. Sleeping on your side
Some sleeping postures can cause your skin to form wrinkles. If you sleep on your side or on your stomach, your face is being pressed into your pillow, causing your skin to fold. The best way to avoid “sleep lines” is by sleeping on your back.
7. Wearing a sleep mask
The skin around your eyes is very delicate and prone to damage. Some sleep masks may traumatize it and cause inflammation, which can eventually cause wrinkles. If you wear a sleep mask to bed, make sure it’s loose and doesn’t pull or stretch the skin.
8. Wearing contact lenses
When we put in contacts, we often raise our brows. This repetitive movement causes the skin on our forehead to wrinkle. Unlike glasses, contact lenses don’t protect the skin around the eyes from UV rays, which eventually leads to wrinkles and thinning skin.

Using too many oversize and big things at once

Little things can spoil your look. Even basic clothes can add some extra weight if you forget about the details. For example, wearing a belt in the wrong width or a skirt that is longer than your coat. But after just a couple of special touches, your image will shine.
We at Bright Side always try to improve ourselves and would like to show you a few tips that can help you avoid making some mistakes when it comes to your look.
1. Picking a shirt without buttons
It seems like a basic shirt shouldn’t be able to ruin your look, but that’s not quite right. If you want to hide the pounds, it is better to choose a shirt with buttons. Wear it unbuttoned and put a T-shirt underneath it. This will elongate your figure.
2. Wearing a loose sweater with a skirt
A loose sweater can hide your waistline and make your lower body shorter. Use a belt, like shown in the picture, to lift the sweater and elongate your figure.
3. Pulling down your top to hide your belly
Do not pull your shirt down too much as this can divide your figure into 2 disproportionate pieces. This is especially true when the colors of the bottom and the top are contrasting. Tuck the shirt into the skirt and put an unbuttoned sweater or jacket on top.
4. Not showing your thinner parts: wrists, waist, or neck
When we feel extra weight on ourselves, we want to wrap ourselves up in clothes so no one will notice us. But we have to remember to expose our wrists, waistline, neck, or ankles. These are the parts that make us look thin and feminine.
5. Using button-down skinny jersey sweaters
Many of us have these thin sweaters with buttons made of knitwear in our wardrobe. You have to be careful here. If you have volume in the waist and shoulders, then these sweaters will not make you look slimmer, but, on the contrary, can add pounds. It is better to choose a knit sweater with a slightly looser cut.
6. Being afraid of monochromatic looks
We often avoid monochromatic looks because they may seem boring and simple, but this is not true. A contrasting bottom can only widen your look. You can see a good example in the above pictures. If you chose a skirt, then tuck your top into it so you don’t shift the level of your waist.
7. Wearing shorts that are too short
Shorts that are too short will not make you slimmer, as much as you would like them to. Very often they only reveal flaws. If you choose a tracksuit, then it is better to give preference to slightly loose cuts. If you still insist on shorts, then let them be elongated and not tight. Also, avoid small and childish patterns on your clothes that can draw too much attention to your belly.
8. Wearing a belt that is too thin and bright
Of course, we can wear light-colored belts, but only with suitable clothing. If your coat is darker than your belt, then it might visually make your waist appear larger.
Also, do not use thin belts with outwear. A wide belt will show off your figure better.
9. Picking short and tight clothes all the time
It may seem that the more we show our legs, the longer they are. And the longer they are, the slimmer you are. But this is not always the case. A short skirt can severely cut the line of your legs, especially if it is black. It’s better to choose a pencil skirt that perfectly emphasizes your femininity.
10. Wearing a skirt or a dress that is longer than your coat
Do not wear a raincoat or a coat that is shorter than your skirt, especially if it is in a contrasting color. When we do this, additional lines appear, which visually cut the figure and make it thicker.
11. Picking the wrong skirt length
Don’t forget about the length of your skirt or dress. Above the knee length can often add pounds. Everything, of course, is individual and depends on your body type, but around 10 cm below the knee suits many of us. A-line skirts that are too long can also spoil your look and hide thin ankles.
12. Forgetting about vertical lines
The longer the vertical line, the slimmer you look. Leave your jacket open and choose the right length. There should not be too many horizontal stripes around the abdominal part.
13. Wearing dresses that are too tight
The belly is not going anywhere, even if you put on a tight dress, especially in a light color. Don’t be afraid to wear loose-bottomed dresses, but show your waistline. Even a white dress won’t make you look thicker if everything is balanced. The hourglass shape can save you.
14. Using too many oversize and big things at once
When everything is oversized and long it can make you look bigger. Pay attention to your accessories. Sometimes it’s better to pick a small bag and to not add extra volume to the top of your body. And again. Show your wrists.
15. Prioritizing skinny jeans
Skinny jeans can play tricks on us, especially if we have thick calves. Choose slightly loose jeans than show your ankles. Don’t pick contrasting shoes because they will cut your legs visually.

brightside--2020-12-18--20+ Facts About Ancient Greece That Might Even Surprise a History Professor

© 2014–2020All rights reserved .
All materials on this site are copyrighted and may not be used unless authorized by @ @ @ @

Ancient Greeks seem to have invented everything we use today: theater, Olympic games, philosophy, and yo-yos.
We at Bright Side absolutely love learning new things about ancient civilizations which is why we decided to write this article.
The Greek alphabet was invented at the beginning of the 8th century B.C.E. It was the first alphabetic script in history to have distinct letters for vowels.
The yo-yo was invented in Ancient Greece. It was first mentioned in 440 B.C.E. Yo-yos were made of wood, metal, or painted terra cotta disks.
Speaking of Gods... The head of the Ancient Greek Pantheon was believed to be Zeus, but this is not entirely correct. The thing is, Greece wasn’t a single state — it consisted of different cities that didn’t depend on one another. And every polis had its own cult. While believing in multiple gods, the ancient Greeks would usually only worship one god depending on where they lived or their status in life, in a concept known as “henotheism.”
Classic Greek heroes often did pretty bad things from a modern perspective. Heracles had multiple lovers in addition to his 4 wives, and Achilles had an argument abandoned his friends during the Trojan War.
One of the most beloved Ancient Greek gods is Dionysus, the god of the grape harvest and fertility. There were festivals called Dionysia. The participants organized celebrations with food.
Another celebration that Ancient Greeks loved was the Olympiad. They loved it so much that they even based their calendars on it. The event was held once every 4 years in July/August. So, the first year of their first Olympiad was July 776 B.C.E.
During the Olympiad, all military conflicts were prohibited for the 3 months leading up to the event. This was done to make sure that all visitors could get to the location of the event safely. Wars still occurred, just not in the region of Ilia.
Women were generally not allowed to be in the Olympic games, neither as participants nor as viewers.
An exception to this rule was that they allowed women to enter horses into equestrian games. One example was the Spartan princess Cynisca, who won the event without even taking part in it. Her horses finished first in the games in 396 B.C.E. and 392 B.C.E, making her the winner.
There was a very popular myth in Sparta that weak boys were thrown away in a pit. This was described by the Ancient Greek historian Plutarch. But according to the most recent information, he distorted the information for the political elites of the time. Archaeologists did research in the place where the babies should’ve been, but they found no proof of Plutarch’s words. In reality, prisoners and criminals were sent there.
But the way Spartans lived and raised their children was still pretty harsh. At the age of 7, boys were sent to special military camps. The kids slept on reed beds that they made themselves, and they weren’t allowed to wear clothes until the age of 12. Some boys put nettles on their beds to keep themselves warm. The boys were constantly doing physical exercises and learning to use swords and throw spears. They were also supposed to find food by themselves.
One of Laconia’s traditional foods tasted terrible. We don’t know the exact ingredients (it was probably lentils with beef blood). There were many jokes about Spartan courage and this meal. The gist of the jokes was that only real Spartans would eat this terrible meal all the time.
The Spartan army was the best in the Ancient Greek world and for a long time it was believed to be unbeatable, but many stories about it are exaggerations like, for example, the famous Battle of Thermopylae that the film 300 was based on. In reality, the Persians had to fight against 6,000 to 7,000 Greek warriors. The “300” Spartans were accompanied by Greeks from other city-states that also took part in the battle.
Besides, the 300 Spartans had way more equipment than they did in the film, like chest armor and helmets.
The 300 Spartans weren’t the only famous ones, there was also the Sacred Band of Thebes. By the way, these soldiers were the first ones to defeat the Spartans who were believed to be unbeatable. But the most amazing fact about these soldiers is that the band consisted of lovers who made vows at the shrine of Iolaus (one of the lovers of Heracles).
Love marriages were quite rare. In the best-case scenario, the spouses might have been attracted to each other, but husbands often cheated on their wives.
Being unmarried was also punished. In Sparta, there were laws against being confirmed bachelors, as well as marrying too late in life.
A married woman depended a lot on her husband. In Athens, they were legally considered part of a man’s household rather than a legal person. Women could only vote, own land, or inherit property under special circumstances. It was also a bad idea to be outside alone and a respectable woman’s name couldn’t be said in public.
It was easier for women in Sparta — they were allowed to own land and play sports. But they had to cook the terrible black soup we described before and most likely eat it.
Preparing certain delicious and unusual meals in Sparta was prohibited.
Women in Ancient Greece could gain independence by becoming a hetaera. They were wealthy and respected by society. But in order to become one, a woman had to study at a special school from early childhood.
Famous hetaera Rhodopis was the prototype of the first tale about Cinderella. According to the story, when she was bathing, her shoe was stolen by an eagle and thrown into the lap of an Egyptian pharaoh. He was stunned by the shoe and wanted the owner to be found. And that’s how she became the Queen of Egypt.
Many people think that all Greeks ate food while lying down. This is not entirely true. Reclining dining couches were usually reserved for men and, rarely, their female companions.
Banquets for men were called symposiums. They had a lot of fun and played games during these events.
Average families had very dirty homes. First of all, this was due to the soot from the frying of meat, and from the wood that was used to light the place. The soot quickly covered the walls and got absorbed by the wood. In Homer’s poems, you can find many mentions of the soot ruining the weapons that were hanging on the walls.
During its economic development period in the 5th and 4th centuries B.C.E., Ancient Greece was the most developed country in the world. You can see it in the salary of people, which was about 12 kg of wheat. In the Roman empire, an average salary was only about 3.75 kg.

“Children at once accept joy and happiness with quick familiarity, being themselves naturally all happiness and joy,” said Victor Hugo, and we agree with him completely. They have a different view of the world and an innocent way of tackling problems that gives them a distinct advantage over us adults. Otherwise, how would they be able to invent alternative math when they want to cook a pie?
We at Bright Side love to read about how kids see the world, which is why we want to offer you another bunch of cool stories.
“It’s what we’re going to call ’ravioli art.’”
“It was bath time and my son thought he had a perfect hiding spot.”
“My kid took a bite out of a pie and filled the hole with potatoes to hide the evidence.”
My daughter was 7 years old when she got an assignment — to write the moral of The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish fairytale. She wrote, “The tale teaches us that even if we don’t like what our husbands give us, we should smile anyway.” © KudriGalkina / Pikabu
A little more than one month was left until the New Year and my husband decided to start torturing me with the question, “Honey, what present would you like to get for the New Year?” I answered him, frankly, that I don’t know. Hearing this conversation, my daughter who had already sent her letter to Santa, decided to take part in the dialogue:
— Mom, I know what you want!
— How can you know what I want if I myself don’t know what I want?
— I know I know, she continued. You want GOOD REST! © tetcher / Pikabu
Today my son, who is in the 3rd grade, says to me in the morning, “I saw science in my dreams at night. Of course, it’s boring but I had to watch what they were showing.” I saw such doom in his sleepy eyes... © Prohorlinna / Pikabu
I was sitting in a cafe when a mother with her son came in. The boy was very active, he was about 4 years old. He comes up to me and asks,
— Are you a girl or an auntie?
I have met many people who’ve tried to guess my age (usually incorrectly) but I’ve never had a chance to choose it by myself. Thank you, boy! © RybaPumbrija / Pikabu
My son is 11 years old. He is growing into a real gentleman. Recently he bought me a treat with the money he earned himself (he walks our neighbor’s dog). He knew I like a salad that I find hard to cook myself and he brought it to me (not ice cream or chocolate). © Arsmoriendy / Pikabu
I left a measuring glass for washing powder on the washing machine. My husband started to reprimand me saying that our kid could lick it, it’s safety rules, etc. The kid comes to the bathroom, opens both kid locks on the cabinet with washing detergents, hides the glass, locks both cabinets, and says, “You need to do it this way. Got it?” © unknown author / Bash
My kid is growing up to be a good housekeeper. He peed on the floor and wiped the pee by himself... with my clean shirt. © BEMBINI / Bash
I went to the zoo with the kids. My kids were growling, squeaking, shouting, and waving their hands. I hope the animals liked it. © KJ / Bash
“My kids had to double a brownie recipe that called for 1/3 cup of oil. Somehow her math yielded out 2 and 2/3 cups. The mix was boiling in the oven.”
I was 6 when I read in my mom’s magazine that a woman should wear beautiful underwear for self-confidence even if no one sees them. So I put on panties with cherries on and walked around a-la mysterious girl the whole day. © Overheard / Ideer
My son kept telling me the entire morning about the supercar he wants. When he got silent, he lied next to me, and said, “Mom, don’t worry... You’ll buy it for me for sure.” © Quintessence / Kids are speaking
About optimists and pessimists. I hear the sound of broken glass coming from the kitchen. My 7-year-old daughter, “Oops, the plate got broken.” My 5-year-old son, “It’s a puzzle!” © Gavrishenko K. / Kids are speaking
Someone’s kid hung up the wet wipes to allow them to dry.
