Who We Can Love

One of the strangest things about relationship is that we are not free to feel attracted to just anyone.

We tend to have very strong psychological types that we can't deviate from. All of us carry inside us very specific list, defining what the people we can love need to be like as characters. These list are often weirder.

Why can't we settle down with people who are good for us? That's because we are looking for someone who feels familiar.

A lot of us learned about love in childhood at the hands of people who were trouble for us and who continue unconsciously to guide our love types, this can cause havoc with our chances of happiness.
Emotional health mean expanding on the number of people we are free to fall in love with.

We learn about love in childhood, but we liberate ourselves from the traumas of childhood when we realize we can love in different ways, and get used to something that may at first be eerily and challenging unfamiliar.

This video, made from THE SCHOOL OF LIFE, explains why we fall in love with the wrong person.

The importance of advertising in our society

Nowadays it´s unthinkable to live without the presence of advertisement in our lives. On TV, on Internet, the Social Media, newspapers, at the streets...everywhere. And the main reason why we are surrounded of such a huge amount of publicity is simply: promoting or selling a product. It doesn´t matter which is the shape or the function of the product. Many times the same product is something abstract, like a feeling, an emotion or simply a value. Even ourselves as individuals are considered a product where what really matter is the image. 

 When you think in the word "advertisement" the first thing that comes up with your mind is a product needs to be promoted in order to be sold later. This may be the original idea, but with the same necessity of reaching a huge amonut of people and of becoming more sofisticated to be competitive, in recent years the advertisement companies have evolved to the point of creating adverts that get into your mind and pushing you, unconsciously most of the times, to purchase the good.

Besides of selling a product or promoting events with a lucrative purpose, advertisement it´s also used both as to promote comunity or charity events for instance or to let your friends know that you are going to organize a party. The main goal of advertisement is to send you a message that makes some how an effect on you.

On the other hand, advertisement also has a crucial paper in our lives, not only for the fact that they want to send us a message to spend, but also to consider as a product ourselves. The fact of creating a good CV for example in order to show your best face to get a job it can also be a kind of advertisement. Let´s say that we are "selling" ourselves in order to get a job, or also through the Social Media. Something so simple as posting a photo, a song or a statement in your social network is another type of advertisement.

As you can see, the word "advertisement" has different meanings and uses in today´s society, and it depens how it is used can be very useful or very harmful, useful in order to spread a message with intentions or harmful in order to create you the necessity of buying a prodcut that you don´t need. This is only an opinion.
