Marketing Paranoia

I often wonder are pimples or dandruff so bad that you have to feel like a social outcast if you have them. Its not like having dandruff is something similar to having poisonous fumes emanating from one's head which kills people walking near them. Or having pimples is having some volcano on your face which will break anytime spurting white lava on people nearby decapitating them or something.

Both are minor medical conditions which can be easily overcome with slight medical care and goes easily away. Both cause minor changes in appearances. And both are much better to have than habits like Smoking or Drinking. But marketing has associated their images with some sort of revolting feeling. So every time someone gets them they feel weird and unworthy and become obsessed with solving them in very small periods of time. And others start treating them differently n badly!

"Dare to wear black" bullshit. You don't have to have a head with no dandruff to wear black apparels. Wearing some dress black in color isn't some Dare. Neither is not having a clean face criminal.

Its always important to understand the propaganda behind marketing of each product. And such marketing should be somehow discouraged/stopped because it pollutes impressionable teenager's minds.

I understand looks are important to a certain extent to be confident. But thats only if you don't have the confidence in your personality. In the long run beautiful airheads are always made fun of and smart people always respected. We just need to remember that.

Peace.
