Consumers Today Are Kicking Themselves In The Face!

Do you ever wonder how something as simple as a catch phrase or logo can be engraved into your head? Perhaps after being influenced by the logo, you question how it has managed to entice you to spend your well earned money on something that will not produce any personal value (nutritional, financial, spiritual or emotional)? Unfortunately a majority of the population has not recognized this as a problem, and it is my duty to inform them. :)

Such products like clothes, fast food, and alcohol are all examples of these short term pleasures society seems to base their living on. They are willing to give their time (hours spent working) on such meaningless things that help them to temporarily feel good. For example, clothes make your esteem rise when you see how good you look, or when you are complimented on something new.

It is because of the endorphins being released in our brain like nor-epinephrine that tell the body to desire such things from past experience. Without any conscious thought, we automatically tempt ourselves with the decision on if we will buy into these pleasures. Through irrational decision making, we are usually the victim of a major corporation's million dollar scheme to make their product(s) a "need" to the consumer.

 
Although these products seem pleasurable, they have no benefit to improving one's self. Almost every temporary pleasure on the market today has a negative side effect; alcohol (a depressant) causes hangovers and rowdiness, fast food causes people to become bloated and obese, and designer clothing just burns a big hole in your wallet.

If time and money were spent wisely, they would be used to benefit one's self further into the direction they wish to take, and by wasting it on meaningless products such as these it shows that insignificant, temporary pleasures are worth more than productivity for the people who have not been enlightened. So now I challenge you: If you are not aware of this atrocity weighing upon you; take action, make change, and find better things to wisely spend your time and money on. If you ARE aware of this, I challenge you to share the knowledge you have, with someone that will listen, and together we have the power to change the world!
