is it all just media, or do I have some of my own belief ?

“a girl walking on street with tight and revealing clothes in high heels and fancy accessories. a tattoo on her back and cigarette in her mouth.”

or

“a girl is walking in salwar with her flat sandals without any makeup and her simple accessories with her shopping bag hanging on her soldier.”

so which one you like more and why ? why most of us are way more attracted to first one. and the interesting thing is it’s more of instinct like reaction so lets break it down more logically

in both scenario input mechanism is eye, and from it’s perspective the only logical argument would be - we admired certain shapes more than other and the first girl is more like the shape we admired. doesn’t make much sense.

the other instrument in process is mind the interface. which gives the meaning to the input. now imagine a person who has never seen a girl before which one he would like more. put your self in the shoes of that person i really don’t see how he could like more than one from another. if i were that guy i would probably asked the first girl “what’s wrong with you, are you ok ?” .

so somewhere along the line we learnt that. now look around every billboard, advertisement, movie, newspaper isn’t all the images are more or less matched the first girl description. isn’t all form of media is telling us, what we should like putting that image beside everything creating an illusion for selfish purposes of selling things.

this begs the bigger question is the foundation of all my belief is someones ( marketer ) selfish purpose. who is taking advantage of negative human emotions. like fear, lust, anger. rather than more fulfilling one like compassion.

it seems like media is religion now which tells you what to do.
the more and more reason for living life more deliberately.
