"The proceeds from the sale of this cigarette will go to the advancement of research for the cure of lung cancer and related illnesses" said no cigarette packet cover ever in the history of the cigarette consumption.. But imagine if it were to do that would the sales of cigarette increase? or decrease?
In other news, recently I have been thinking how powerful our minds are and how they create analyse criticise and distort the perception of reality around us. They say money is everything these days( pretty certain it has always been like this). Studies suggest only 15% of the population of the world comprises the ultra rich and people living below the poverty line. Then that means that 85% of the people in the world have virtually the same monetary resources at their hands. If both of these things are true then how come people end up having such different lives?
I feel not really as much attention and care is given to the development of the faculties of the mind as there should be especially compared to how much attention "how to look good" gets in our society. but by this I dont mean formal education. I mean teaching people how to think. Channelling their mental focus. Teaching them to choose the thoughts they want to think and discard others. Because alot of times things that bother us are nothing more our distorted perception of how things are, or how they are not, of what someone said , or didnt say. It is such an immense waste of mental faculties.
