Memento Mori

Memento Mori

Remember you are going to die. It’s inescapable. 500 Billion people died before you and you are next. We can make claims about the afterlife, heaven, reincarnation and 7 virgins but we don’t have proof. It’s all speculations like a day-trader. None of the people who died ever came back, including Jesus. We do know one thing though, that when you dead you stop existing, you become nothing. So how did you die? Did you live out your dreams or did you let the world change you and became bitter in the process? Who do you blame for your failures and own insufficiencies? Did you make the best out of the time you were given? Were you present and grateful in every moment? Were you aware of the magnificence of life? Were you loved? Would someone hide you if you were in trouble? Were you a blessing in somebody’s life? Did you leave your mark? Is the world slightly better because you existed? Did you treat people well? Were people and even animals happy to see you? Did you love enough? Memento Mori my friend, you are going to die. Be present and do all that you can while you can smell the flowers.

Propaganda

Propaganda

Propaganda tends to have a negative connotation and it’s warranted, we saw what happened in the 20th century with Nazi Germany. What transpired was just pure evil, but it’s not just with Nazi Germany. Propaganda is everywhere. We see this with the depiction of Africa by the West. And how is Jesus Christ white again?

Propaganda is everywhere, we see it on our money with Nelson Mandela, he is always there, looking at you, smiling. Sandton City has a place called “Nelson Mandela Square” and it is a place designated for Mandela. It has art, it has statues, it has stores that sell Mandela gold coins, it has stores that sell the type of clothes he wore, it is Mandela heaven. Because Sandton is my home, I see Nelson Mandela every day. I believe his propaganda, I believe that he was a great man. I am surrounded by proof. Yes, I concede Nelson Mandela was a great man, easily one of the greatest men who ever lived. The propaganda makes him better than the “Greatest”. He has malls named after him, streets, hospitals, bridges and just about anything you can think of. The “Mandela” brand is a great brand and it is because of this propaganda.

Essentially what propaganda is, is Marketing and PR. It is showing only one side of the story in the best possible light repeatedly. It is biased and one sided. We see this with the advertising industry. Everyone is always smiling on Billboards and on ads and that KFC burger isn’t that great in real life. Propaganda is flattery and deception, it is what we humans do best. Social media has allowed us to propagate propaganda for our personal brands. We can take pictures and filter them to be perfect and then share with the whole world. We have more power than ever!
