Dove `Onslaught' (sequel to `Evolution')
Reality in itself is an illusion, in fact reality and the perception of the world at large not only in how we see it but also how other individuals see us is well defined by our own image we have of ourselves. This is a freedom that we as humans have been gifted with. This statement to some would seem like an absurd paradox, and the unfortunate aspect is that whilst it can be our greatest strength is can also be one of our greatest weaknesses.
If we are mentally undefined as to the state of our own true `self' then what happens is that it leads us wide open to the subjection of another synthetic reality that is not of our own to be laid upon us. Simply put if we do not control our lives them surely someone else will. The media in general in all of it's differing entities has done a marvelous job in informing us and non more so than in the shear blatant propogandering of how we should look.
What could be worse than the absolute manipulation and distortion of the truth by companies whose sole aim is to profit from peoples vanities. The irony being that the true beauty of an individual is measured by being personally fulfilled with the knowledge of their own self worth, is independent and has trust in their self image. When our own belief system can be viewed in our mind with total clarity then this in turn radiates to our outer being as conscious awareness of our own confidence. This then becomes our reality.
Whilst I am not endorsing such the Dove Self Esteem Fund in conjunction with the Butterfly Foundation have made a positive move for the better in regards to the re-education of the self images of young and old alike. Also the article entitled Media Distortion of Image makes for good reading on this subject matter detailing the impossible ideals that the media machine imposes upon us.
