I just gently touch the lens and lightly drag it out of my eye. The lens usually falls off of my eye by itself just by dragging it with my finger. The only time I pluck/"pinch" them off is when I've accidentally slept in them or something and they're super super dry.
I especially would advise against pinching the lenses off as you risk pinching your actual eye.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
