Thus far, we have had some fun chatting about different types of media influences, but I will be remiss if I do not at some point cover the interesting influence on personal image that media possesses. A constant bombardment on what is the “right” way to look constantly sweeps through the media. Only too often consumers do not see that the media is filling them with lies. Now don't get me wrong, because I believe that the media provides a lot of good. Every time they show the facsimile of a person touched with tools to show something just outside of the reality, they are causing damage that may be impossible to ever truly remove from society. Airbrushed and photoshopped is not the way that we live on earth. We have allowed the media to create a Wonderland for us, and we want the image on the flip-side of the looking glass rather than the one that we can experience. This is a call to get up off your tails to find the truth that is lurking in a currently unwelcome corner of our lives. You do not have to an airbrushed model to live a happy and meaningful existence. In fact, I would say that your chances increase dramatically for a happy life when you are willing to be yourself!!!
