money vs responsibility

maybe money is everything for most people. maybe not. but i think responsibility should still be priority, maybe at least to me.
a couple of days ago i was startled by an ad on TV. It was an ad for ABC battery. the ad was, in my opinion very violent. even though it was executed cutely but it was promoting violence.
the ad was about a family shooting each other and ended by the grandmother having the most powerful weapon to eliminate all. am i over reacting? maybe. but i think we, so called advertising expert should know better than to execute such ad that promotes violence is OK. shooting people is no big deal, it's fun. And please don't use excuses like "but Disney has been doing it through cartoons for ages.." ya ya..so if everybody jumps off the cliff, would you? if everybody is giving poison to their baby, would you? wouldn't you want to be the first to take the right step? to do the right thing? wouldn't you?
please, please, please..we really don't need another violent film on TV. enough already!! look at our world today and look how much violence there is around us. wouldn't you prefer peace instead?
think about it before making another ad. i love advertising and money, but responsibility still comes first. our responsibility to society.

what makes evil?

Fear.
Fear makes evil.
The feeling of fear makes us evil.
Feeling insecure, intimidated, cornered and what's not.
Our defence system to overcome fear are most of the time evil to others
without us realising it.
We all have been hurt before by the evil of others, so next time you feel fear..
Think of the evil inside you and don't let it out.
Reach out and find help, as it will eliminate the fear not friends
and surely not innocent people.
Think about it, OK?
Be fearless.

a drop of encouragement for the day

This is a song by SEAL taken from his Album "SYSTEM". It's such a wonderful and encouraging song..
"AMAZING"
Everyone says you’re amazing
Say you don’t know how to do it now So you run
It’s not that you’re bleeding, but you’re through with it now So you run, so you run
I know that you need it, you can’t live alone So you run, so you run
Everyone says you’re amazing now that you’re clean
Only you know who the real ones are cause you’ve seen
There’s only one question I want to ask is it healing
When you hear everyone say you’re amazing
Does anybody ask you? Do you cry in your sleep and do you feel ok? When you run
Thinking it’s Doomsday you got to let it go So you run, so you run
Pretend you don’t see it, that we can live a lie When you run, so you run
Everyone says you’re amazing now that you’re clean
Only you know who the real ones are cause you’ve seen
There’s only one question I want to ask is it healing
When, does anybody ask you? Cause I know that you’re real, amazing, amazing, amazing
Everyone says you’re amazing now that you’re clean
Only you know the real ones are cause you’ve seen
There’s only one question I want to ask is it healing When you….
Everyone says you’re amazing
Everyone says you’re amazing
(I want you to always feel you’re amazing)
Everyone says you’re amazing
(I want you to always feel you’re amazing)
Everyone says you’re amazing
(I want you to always feel you’re amazing)
(I want you to always feel you’re amazing)
You’re amazing
