Learning to love ourselves again … the purple people
Most of us forgot how to.
There are only a handful of people that I’ve meet that truly love themselves. I can imagine this sounds strange, but it is very true.
And society is at fault.
You see from a young age we are being manipulated in to different addictions, and these addictions have a way of changing our lives, usually for the worst. Alcohol, sugar, money, food, procrastination, and these are only the top five. On top of this there is religion, and politics mixed with religion and let us not forget cultural habits.
And when you mix all of these, you get people that do not love themselves at the end of the day. It will be for the way they look, for what they have, what they believe in, what they can afford, and the list continues. Basically we are a bread of creatures that care way to much about what other think of them, and how they are received in society.
Do society has made it acceptable to dream of winning the lottery, even do more people spend way too much on it, and never win. Well, never win more than a few bucks. This is valid with everything else. In the beginning life, babies are being appreciate the more they eat, later, especially if you are woman you will be teased the more you eat. Do you see where I’m heading with this?
