Madam Ost's blog: "THE POWER OF LOVE"

Everybody hates the sales pitch because everyone knows there is always a certain amount of bullshit that comes with it. Its purpose is to sell you something because they want your money. A sales pitch is a cleverly designed routine that tries to convince you that you need something that you don’t have. We are constantly having these kinds of things put in front of us all the time. Every time you leave the house you will see billboards telling you about something that someone is selling. Any time you ever open any periodical, magazine, newspaper, and even your own mail, there is a steady flow of info thats trying to convince you that you need something that you dont have.. That your life will be that much better if you did have it. That you would have more friends who loved you if only you had what it was that they are selling..

Your life does not change when you get that new car. It just means you get to drive to work in a car where everything works for about 6 months or so. Because after 6 months its not a new car anymore and things will begin to wear out. And you still owe the bank a lot of money for it .

But this illustrates what I said about bullshit. Owning things changes nothing except that you have more things to worry about losing.

We all hate the car salesman and we all cringe at the thought of a vacuum cleaner salesman paying us a visit in our home. But when the salesman is a TV screen we go out and buy one and put it in our homes ourselves. We do this willingly and never think twice about it..We turn it on every single day of the week, every single week of the month and every single month of the year. The next time you watch TV, pay attention to what is really being said. Its just another sales pitch all dressed up in eye pleasing visuals and catchy songs that are purposely designed to make you think that General Electric and McDonalds really cares about you and your family. But that’s a lie… Because all they really care about is getting your money because they want to make a profit and they do not give a damn about me, you. or your family. That’s the reality..The other reality is that they should be paying you to put this electronic salesman in your home

I’m not here to sell you anything. I’m only here to ask you to give your love to the ones you love and let them know that you did. You don’t really need the things that advertisers want you to buy and neither do your loved ones. All you really need is love, because love is all you need.
