Logic – that’s what common sense comes down to, is it logical? Advertisers don’t seem to think in a logical / common sense way. They play only on the drama. The mother that ignores her bleeding child because the cat wants food, or the wall paint that solves all your problems by you becoming a famous writer that has a movie made from her book and falls in love with the leading man and lives in the house with the “right” painted walls.

We will probably soon be seeing ads for things that will make your family holidays perfect. Buy this and everything will be perfect. Where is the logical common sense in that? How does it make people feel that can’t afford that item or they don’t even have that kind of “family” to share it with?

Common sense logic would tell you that with a billion plus people on this Earth that not everyone does things the same way. Everyone has their own celebrations and traditions that they cherish. We as humans need to honor the right of people to live as they see fit. Do no harm to others, help when and how you can. When you feel you’ve hit rock bottom the only way to go is up. The sun can seem the brightest after the darkest day.

We at Visionary Viewpoints hope the coming Holidays are enjoyable for you

however you celebrate them.
