Someone decided that a woman would be the ideal object that has the power to sell solutions to all problems. Really?
I was thinking about it yesterday and came up with this.
A dog is a dog, you train it and that’s it. Either it respects you or it doesn’t.
People often choose dogs that reflect their appearance or personality. They pick up after their dog’s waste every day but won’t do the same for their child.
You can only inspire people through life itself—and also through death. Raising children today is more challenging than ever. They are constantly bombarded with “toxic content” from YouTube, ads on kids’ channels, and daily doses of Nutella. Then there’s Pingu for boredom, Playmobil action figures, and Barbie dolls with unrealistic proportions. These plastic “idols” shape young minds, yet society continues to ignore this serious issue.
Training a city dog, which spends 75% of its time in an apartment, to have daily bathroom discipline is one thing. Raising a child is something entirely different. Parents must teach values and introduce new lessons at every stage of life. With a dog, that responsibility doesn’t exist.
The Lost Simplicity
of Life and branded zombies
Most of you have drifted away from the simple realities of life. Do you even know what it’s like to crawl into a freezing lake in winter? To run from the darkness in the woods? Or to just sit and watch the “brand zombies” wandering through an outlet mall in Parndorf—each trying to fake a sense of importance with Prada or Ralph Lauren?
Yet, many of these same people spend their days in black sweatpants, weighed down by daily stress. They might not even have the confidence to wear their so-called “high-fashion” pieces. The truth is, wearing the right clothes requires knowledge. It’s not automatic. But no salesman will tell you that. They’re just happy to take your money.
The Illusion of Advertising
Advertising has become completely detached from real life. Some agencies, both past and present, can be compared to perfumed carrion. Smiling couples are portrayed holding the latest “world-famous” smartphone. Blondes and brunettes with perfect proportions are used to promote Nutella, Kinder Eggs, and Always pads, where blood is simulated in full-screen to prove that workouts can still be done during “those days.” Nintendo is offered as a cure for boredom, and a few premium brandies help wash it all down. As my former colleague Matthew B. would say—”pure f*ckery.”
It is time for younger generations to be pulled back into the raw, unfiltered reality of life. Instead of collecting dog waste in trendy red bags, more attention should be given to raising children with real values. Rather than chasing likes and comments from strangers, calls should be made to grandparents, aunts, and uncles, reminding them they are loved—before it’s too late.
Rather than investing in artificial advertising campaigns, funds should be redirected where they are truly needed—into hospitals, parks, and education. Generation XYZ should be taught real-life skills. They should be shown how to bake bread, cook beef broth with bones, start a fire in a fireplace, and hold a conversation without WhatsApp. Instead of flying to Dubai, they should be sent to Namibia to understand the harsh realities that many people still face today.
The world doesn’t need more artificial perfection. It needs people who remember what life is truly about.
“Because
We’re worth it”
So sure…
A well-known claim by a mega brand.
Nowhere has an ad been seen promoting the message that young babies and mothers-to-be are valuable just as they are—without the need to apply daily cosmetics filled with chemicals that harm not only their fertility but their overall health. Instead, they are repeatedly told otherwise by celebrities and actresses in TV commercials for Lo****. Over and over again, the same message is pushed.
However, my daughter has already been informed that the Lo**** brand sells makeup products containing harmful chemicals, as confirmed by verified test results published in the media. It is highly likely that those supermodels and actresses do not use these products themselves. A massive, deceitful lie has been created and sustained.
So, it is time for a reset—a real one. Fortunately, in the midst of life’s true essence, time and opportunity still remain.
Where did the very concept of evaluating human creativity, feminine beauty, the changing of seasons, athletic performance, and children’s knowledge in schools with grades and similar measures originate? Who decided these things should be judged in such a way?
