“You are beautiful no matter what they say. Words can’t bring you down.”
Industries thrive by feeding on our insecurities. They exploit our deficiencies so that we will be forced to grab what they have to offer. Over and over we are being reassured that their product is the ‘one last thing’ we need in order to be complete. Adding to that is the fact that today’s connectivity and access to information make it easier for them to cast before us those images with beautiful faces; their ideals and representation of what you ‘should’ look like and what you will look like if you would only buy what these companies are selling. Their campaigns succeed by digging up deep-seated insecurities and diffidence from our hearts.
