facebook link but a awesome read. Take a few minutes to check it out.
TL;dr
Wow thats nuts…
Very cool experiment. I used to be one of the most optimistic people I know. Used to be. Now I find myself realizing more and more of this goes on around me every day and the sadness it brings me is swaying me towards thinking the glass is half empty. It bumms me out that people tend to waste away lives every day because they are in a rhythm of selfishness and can’t look around them at what good is actually going on.
It also makes you think the other way. Does the “name” cloud our perceptions too? Are Tommy Hilfigure jeans that much better at being pants than Lee? Are some of the parts we put on our cars that much better than others because they have a million nutt swingers? If you said yes to those, then those artforms may be already lost.
Marketing 101: Yes the name “clouds” the perceptions, and a big hunk of the premium you pay for a “better” product is to cover their advertising budget and inefficiencies of a large company.
There are countless examples of identical products being sold for more money for no other reason than perception. Equate Walmart brand in drugs is an easy example when there is only way way to make a 3 ingredient product.
With that said, people are people. We are never happy, we always take things for granted, we get desensitized to the amazing things around us unless it’s sold to us in a neatly wrapped marketing package.
yep
This was a pretty cool read about 6 years ago when it happened. Thanks for the history lesson, Drew.
I will punch you in the dick. Straight up jab to your right nut.

the last statemenT IS EPIC.
but i am people and i am happy. my life is lived through a positive person and i feel that we control our happiness.
all that happy is a feeling. you can feel happy try it out. you can feel sad too. its all created by the user. if you want to wine about stuff go for it. i will not stop you. its a waste of time. which is limited.
if you want to live a happier life i can help. listen to yourself more you have the answers to alot of things. it will take some time to find free time to listen to yourself. in todays world everyone is busy, so busy they forget how important happy really is.
imo being happy is better than being rich. rich people spend all of their lives trying to be happy by buying it but $$$ will only work short term. being happy is living. making wages and spending isnt happy. happy is happy. spending $$ is fun but not as fun as being happy
if we had a user manual for humans you would understand how to use your human better. people still find out new things with the human body all the time. but alot of people forget what they are capable of. one man can change the earth. the earth is amazing and the fact you or i could effect it is huge.
what feels better for your body? happy or sad? so stick with it and always be happy. times will be bad but if you stay happy you can approach things alot better. the smallest discision will effect you. choose wisely. take a approach most wouldnt take. do something new. do something that makes you happy or a better person
