Can I tell you one of my "Pet Peeves”?
Advertising!
Yup, I get so angry when I see the "lies' or the "lack of information" that these companies and advertising agency's do.
They dress up a pig in a frilly dress, throw on lipstick and call it a Queen!
I read the Daily Stoic and Marcus Aurelius and on April 9th he says to "Test Your Impressions".
What does this mean?
In the olden days, when anyone would make a purchase, they would test the coins.
Why? Because they did not trust first impressions. They needed to know that what they were seeing was real. They would either bite the coin or toss it against the wall to hear the sound.
In today's fast-moving world, we all need to "test our impressions", because we get a lot of s**t thrown at us and they tell us it is a beautiful rose.
One of the reason I am writing this today is because I saw an advertisement for "Va**ng and Pouches" and how they can help you quit smoking ci******es faster and that they are "dressed" attractively, so you the consumer, feels good about quitting smoking and using their product. WHAT!!!
They are not only dressing up poison to make it look pretty, but they are also lying to the public. Va**ng and Pouches are worse for you and give the consumer more ni****ne than a cigarette does.
What they are NOT telling you is that quitting smoking is easy, that the ni****ne is out of your body in 3 to 5 days, the hard part is your attachment to the behaviors.
This is why you MUST "TEST YOUR IMPRESSIONS” and do a little research, it will be amazing what you find.
No video today. Just me letting you know to not smoke, v**e, or use pouches, because they do kill you.
