Dove has recently drawn a number of campaigns with reference to beauty, using very good and sometimes shocking videos which have continuously informed consumers that real beauty is not necessarily what the beauty industry says it is.
Following this concept, a while ago, Dove has released the next commercial: Onslaught
Today, while I was reviewing my usual feeds from different blogs, I found the following video, made by Greenpeace, video which, in my opinion, is a blow in the face for the Dove campaign. Personally, I think it’s a very smart move!
See… with life, it’s always a matter of choosing the right path and avoiding the wrong path. But, in my opinion, there’s no such thing as wrong path. There’s only right paths and the space in between them. A right path is just like a tunnel, the in between right paths is emptiness, a space of continuous wandering, but also a space for a new chance to get on a right path again. The right path could be a closed tunnel, or an open tunnel. There are few closed tunnels and there are a lot of open ones. Some of the open tunnels have more than one extra-exits so you have more than one chances to get back in a tunnel from various points of the in-between space.
Sometimes, you can’t really tell whether you’re outside or inside the tunnel so, when you’re in front of a tunnel hole, you don’t know whether it is an entrance or an exit. The only way to find out it’s to pass through it. The two things that can happen are: you actually enter a tunnel, which means you’re on a good road, or you actually exit a tunnel, which means you’re in the in-between space, searching for another tunnel hole, therefore you’re on your way towards a good road. So the final result is always a right path, all you have to do is to have the courage to MOVE.
Hoping that at least ONE person reading this point understands me, I wish you all the best things in the world!
Will you deny, dear girl, that creatures can exist that are– not human – not animal – strange creatures created out of absurd thoughts and villainous desires?
You know good, my gentle girl, good is the Law; good are all our rules and regulations; good is the great God that created these regulations, these rules, these laws.
Good also is the man that values them completely and goes on his path in humility and patience in true obedience to our good God.
But there is another King that hates good. He breaks the laws and the regulations. He creates – note this well – against nature. He is bad, is evil, and evil is the man that would be like him. He is a child of Satan.
It is evil, very evil to go in and tamper with the eternal laws and with insolent hands rip them brazenly out of place.
He is happy and able to do evil – because Satan, who is a tremendous King, helps him. He wants to create out of his prideful wish and will, wants to do things that shatter all the rules, that reverse natural law and stand it on its head.
But he needs to be very careful: It is only a lie and what he creates is always lunacy and illusion. It towers up and fills the heavens – but collapses at the last moment and falls back to bury the arrogant fool that thought it up –
His Excellency Jacob Ten Brinken, Dr. med., Ord. Professor and Counselor created a strange maiden, created her – against nature. He created her entirely alone, though the thought belonged to another.
This creature, that was baptized and named Alraune, grew up and lived as a human child. Whatever she touched turned to gold, where ever she went became filled with wild laughter.
But whoever felt her poisonous breath, screamed at the sins that stirred inside them and on the ground where her feet lightly tread grew the pale white flower of death. It struck dead anyone that was hers except Frank Braun, who first thought of her and gave her life.
It’s not for you, golden sister, that I write this book. Your eyes are blue and kind. They know nothing of sins. Your days are like the heavy blue clusters of wisteria dropping down to form a soft carpet. My feet stride lightly and softly through them as I enter the glittering sunlight in the arbor of your gentle days. I don’t write this book for you my golden child, gracious sister of my dream filled days –
But I write it for you, you wild sinful sister of my hot nights. When the shadows fall, when the cruel ocean devours the beautiful golden sun there flashes over the waves a swift poisonous green ray. That is Sins first quick laugh over the alarmed dying day.
That’s when you extend yourself over the still water, raise yourself high and proclaim your arrival in blighted yellows, reds and deep violet colors. Your sins whisper through the deep night and vomit your pestilent breath wide throughout all the land.
And you become aware of your hot touch. You widen your eyes, lift your perky young breasts as your nostrils quiver and you spread wide your fever moistened hands.
Then the gentle civilized day splits away and falls to give birth to the serpent of the dark night. You extend yourself, sister, your wild soul, all shame, full of poison, and of torment and blood, and of kisses and desire, exultant outward in joyous abandon.
I write about you, through all the heavens and hells – sister of my sins – I write this book for you!
