Struggling To Find Ourselves

Along with some other items, our lives seem to be controlled by switches.  Everywhere you go, no matter what you are doing, you encounter a switch of some type.  When you turn on your lights in your house, you use a switch.  When you drive your car, you use a NUMBER of switches.  There are light switches, switches made when you change from one thing to another, KVM switches, switches in your home appliances, switches in your breaker box, switches in your fuse boxes.  Switches here….switches there….switches everywhere, where….

It seems like our world today is run by pills.  Everywhere you go, you see advertisements in every form for them.  From weight loss pills to protein pills to prescription and non-prescription drugs to cold and allergy pills, and everything in between.  Our world seems to be thriving on the sale of pills and what some of these pills do to the population.  Now, don’t get me wrong.  I take my fair share in the form of multi-vitamins and such.  I feel pills of ANY type have their place, but honestly, I’m not sure that it’s all that great for society to be “hooked” on pills.  Sometimes, I think we need to resort back to nature and the way God designed the world and our bodies to make us feel better, physically.

They are always advertising that these new acne treatments are “the best to ever hit the market”. They show before and after pictures of people who have supposedly used these treatments. Some of the results are nothing short of spectacular.  But I have to wonder if these treatments REALLY work as well as they are claiming.  Of course, I wonder that with ALL of the “new and improved” treatments for everything.  What do you think?  Are the before and after pictures REALLY the results that you can get?  Or is Hollywood “doctoring” them to sell their products and make money?

There are new drugs coming out on the market EVERY day for just about any ailment you can think of.  They are available for everything from high blood pressure to depression and everything in between.  They are introducing a new treatment for acne or two what seems like every time you turn on the T.V. or the radio, as well as for other ailments too.  And then you see advertisements right after that about being entitled to compensation if you or someone you know has used such and such drug and had health problems.  WHAT is up with that?

….shopping for clothes for myself, or anything related to them.  It’s not TOO bad if I can just go in and know what I need and get it and get out of the store, but if I’m not sure what size I’m looking for, or if I’m not sure if a particular store has what I’m looking for….well….let’s just say that clothes shopping is one thing that I could do without on those days!!!  Apparel of any type and practical and useful  women’s shoes are about the extent of my clothes shopping.  The less clothes shopping I have to do, the better in my mind!!!  Is anyone else like that?
