Face Cream

A positive change will be effected when we realise the importance of positive thought. However, we are now more than ever subjected to the worst kind of negativity imaginable. When we walk we are bombarded by billboards telling us in no uncertain terms what we’re not – listing our imperfections in a detestable catalogue of insecurity. When we sit at home we are flooded with messages feeding our negativity; big corporations and giant conglomerates telling us what we need and what we want in elaborate advertisements showing off the latest in perfection-bound accessories – the face cream for her, the shaving gel for him; promising exotic locations and infinite of attention from the opposite sex usually portrayed as the universal beauty. And we succumb to these symbols of our downfall – we ache to be just one step closer to their portrayed ideal, and we berate ourselves when we fail to achieve their impossible goals. And while we watch our lives waste away in an endless stream of persuasion, we tend to miss the one most important fact – the one unadulterated truth which binds us in our striving – which is the cycle of life; we age, we die, we eventually lose all we’ve built up, and there is not a product that yet exists which will stop it. Eventually the billboards teaching us to think in terms of what we don’t have will rot and fall to the street, and the television advertisements will cease to pollute our airwaves, and only then will we realise what we have become? Think and live in positive terms for the eternal optimist is not a fool but a hero in this revolution of the mind. Live, love and reach out to everyone. Stop sitting in your own mind curled up in a ball of negativity waiting and wishing. Touch the world, and you’ll be surprised at what you get back.

Peace, love, revolutions
