Anti Aging

The big sighs and ‘cry out loud’s that are done, all in the name of the new found combat of anti aging is way too amazing to watch with the naked eye. Humanity has never fought so hard, and in unison for a single cause, like they are currently advocating for anti aging products, skin care and all that noise.

Think about it: have you ever heard someone cry out so loud in the name or unity? Hunger and famine or war? The answer is almost too bitter to say out loud. But when it comes to anti aging treatments, how come that women, who cannot stand each other under normal circumstances, can come together as one to make their voices heard?

Think about it. Is it a mere successful brain washing session by the media that have made us so ego centric about our wrinkles or is it a mere lack of virtues and morals that should have been ideally associated with this earthly life that has made us turn a blind eye to what is really important?

Whatever justification that you may find on newspapers and advertisements for why anti aging products are a good solution to keep you looking young and vibrant, the bottom line of those adverts is as if they are telling you “hey look you old hag, if you were to look any better with less zits and craters all over your face, you will need re-do your face”. This also implies that the adverts are assuming that people who are likely to buy anti aging products have a presumption about themselves as being low in self confidence and in their self image. Isn’t that a horrible way to use reverse psychology to market a product as non-essential as anti aging creams?

Some women will counter argue this stating that anti aging creams really do make them feel wonderful and add up to their self confidence. What they do not realize is that the very latter thought of anti aging creams adding on to one’s self confidence itself is another marketing gimmick very carefully planned and executed by anti aging product companies.

Perhaps we have been brain washed through media hype for too long in order to be able to see a clear distinction between the need and want difference of anti aging products. But if there’s anyone out there who wants to stand up to the challenge and make a difference in their thought process, this welcome note is for you. Try to see through all those anti aging creams and let the world know what you find behind those fake photoshopped posters where models dazzle like true divas.
