Does what we see affect us?

Peace

so I am back and my partly fasting of all forms of technology has ended and I will save that story for some other day since there is a particular subject I would like to mention or scream about as usuall. So I was driving towards a particular destination today and inorder to get to this destination you are literally forced to pass a motor way which is not particulary funn. As always there are billboards along the motor way which I particularly do not notice, this time it caught my eye, but it did so in a manner I which I had not seen it. I cannot imagine the last time a couple of words had provoked me to inner since of disturbance as these words on the billboards. It read with bold capital writings: "Making love longer, for a longer lasting sex" call bla bla bla. There are a couple of issues with these few sentences and my first question is why put it up in a motor way, secondly why make intimacy such a cheap commodity and de-valueing in such a manner, thirdly what exmple is this setting to youngster?

Some people may dismiss this and say I dont get bothered by advertisment anyways. My answer would be; who are you kidding, everyone somehow to some degree gets affected by what they see wheather that is positive or negative. Futhermore the advertisment industry plays a role in portraying a notion to the nation and thus a huge responnsibility lies withing it to who it conveys to what it conveys and the ethics and manner in which it conveys which I belive has been far lost in this pre-modern era. This is not only is seen on billboards other forms of relating information such as newspapers.

Futher to this, this billboard was also seen in Australia but it had to pulled down since complaints were recieved in vast numbers.......

I guess my concern stems from the society we live in, in which we are all the time encouraged to pursue what our "heart" desires without really thinking that the desire/pleasure which we are seeking may result in damage and destruction to oneself and ones surroundings. therefore its so easy to fall and become a victim of this type of destruction which really lies within our-self. Do not get me wrong I am not anti-pleasure (if there is a word like it) I do believe that desires are an essential godly creation but when it has been perverted, taken in excess or deficient by ones surroundings thats where the danger lies and that is where the soul is at its greatest risk. What I really want to say is that lifes is more than us concentrating on seeking out our pleasures and only thinking of our own selfs, which again these billboards, magazines are constantly reminding us of.


said to much, I think so

6 months of work, many lessons

Peace


I will try to ake this post as short as possible since I am kinda in a state of fasting from all forms of technologies just to revitilise myself in my inner dimensions, so that I'll come back with a bit more energy and focus on my journey.

First of all I feel blessed in all kind of ways since I have got my health and dear and near as well as being involved in a work that I deeply love. I have to say though like with anything else in life it has its ups and downs and celebrating my 6 minths anniversary at work their are lots that I have learnt throughout the way wich I would like to share:

1) Time is gold, fill it with its proper content and you will get much more out of it.

2) Passion; if its there it will give you satisfaction with what you doing

3) Ambition; always wanting to improve and reach perfection and looking for ways & opportunities to do so will not only get you far in any position but will inspire those around you which will influence the dinamic of the work place.

4) Difficulties; will surely come wheather that is with other people, work-load, technologies etc. but what dampens it is not loosing temper and looking for different innovative solutions, always look at the bigger picture and dont let minute things distract you.

5) Make a difference;

6) Mercy and Compassion; is absolutely the key if espcecially you work in the health field, sometimes its diffuclt to relate to another person when we are distracted by getting work done, but by relating to someone else will make us understand the other wich will help us coming up with solutions that is in equilibrium and enable work to flow.

7) Mistakes; accept it, learn from it and move on dont ever get entageld by faults no one is perfect and so everyone is prone to mistakes, its beyond us but they do tend to happen with its wisdom so reflect upon them and let it be a reason for you acceleration to higher ranks and not deccalaration to lower ranks.

8) Have a good time; whatever you get involved with make sure your content with it, this will definitely enlighten your heart and make it at peace even at the most stressfull situations because you doing something you belive and always remember you most happiest situations at work. This will remind you why you doing this in the first place and will help in most diffuclt situations.

9) Pass the knowledge on; any junior you have to work with, be a good supervisor and dont give juniors a hard time (unless they ask for it lol just kidding)since you have been at some point the newbee and learnt from someone else! Its said that the memories of an inspiring supervisor will always be there so be that supervisor.

10) Be well organised, with everything, your papers, work desk, even speech (in arguments).

I think thats all I can think of that I personally have learnt I am sure there lots of other points bit my brain has gone for a strike lol.....no seriously I really hope that anything I have said will be of any benefit.....

peace
