We are
advertisements
of ourselves
we sell our history
we sell our beliefs
we sell our needs
in the hopes
someone will buy

We are not
the individuals we
like to think we are
we upgrade
we improve
we adapt
to the demands of our
favourite demographic

Billboard souls
self manufactured
commodities

Yep...Just look at how much woman (and men now too) spend on cosmetics, clothing, hair, and plastic surgeries...just to sell the appearance of something better.

You are a great philosopher, Aenimal!

If not a philosopher you are a good market analyst ....
there is truth in what you say!
... and those who dare being true to themselves are labeled as rebels.
Bravo, come sempre.

"We like to think we are."  And yet we are all different in some respects, aren't we...thats why there are so many different colors and foods and shapes and sizes and jobs and interests...James

As always, Raph, you write of universal truths to perfection. This is a keeper~

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

thanks Sue

Margherita i like that better lol Market analyst..grins Abbracci

James of course to some degree, but somewhere a kid is getting a tatoo and peircings, dressing in black and putting up goth makeup trying to be an individual unaware that downtown there are a million other 'individuals' roaming the streets

Thanks Melissa, the one universal truth is that there are no truths except that Ben Affleck sucks rocks
