You're all pushed towards something all the time by everyone around you. Trying to be in complete control feels weird, to be honest — are you sure it's worth it? Yes, I know that I am sometimes convinced to buy something I wouldn't think of buying otherwise, but the outcome is usually not half bad and I don't understand why I should guard myself from it.

"are you sure it's worth it" It is for me.

I think advertisement should be taught at school, so everybody can recognize when they are being pushed/nudged into feeling something. Because I think it does a whole lot of damage to society (obesity, stress, debt, etc).

I know it sounds depressing like that, but have a nice day :)
