With the amount of advertisements we're bombarded with every day, it's often difficult to ignore, and because of their invasive nature they are also difficult to accept. On the incredibly rare occasion I encounter an ad that doesn't rub me the wrong way, and even more rare is an ad that I actually like.
I'm trapped somewhere between ignorance and acceptance. I think communication is important, I tell myself that advertisements are like the petals of a flower over and over again, but for some odd reason I cannot seem to dispel my contempt for them.
I tell myself that by rejecting advertisements I am rejecting a part of myself, I tell myself that it is a path of self-sabotage.
I keep telling myself these things as though they were true from my point of view, but they are not. I have rationalized all of these things, my senses flood me with emotions of wretched disgust and pity which boils and become hatred nearly every time someone tries to sell me their product.
I know life is complicated and that some things are deserving of hatred and some things are deserving of love and it takes some thinking and experience to figure out each individual case, but I don't feel like I'm in balance at all. My default reaction to an ad is contempt.
Advice would be really appreciated right now because I'm wandering and lost.
