Day 26: A Book That Changed Your Opinion About Something
Advertising: the smiling carrion. By Oliviero Toscani
I’ve come across this little book when I was a teenager (I wasn’t the traditional one but kind of a revolutionary kid fighting against everything not normal considered normal). It opened my eyes and left it opened afterwards. I also dreamed of Levi’s jeans as the best ones although didn’t think of the pollution and many diseases which their production causes and that we pay horrendous money just for the label although they are made in the same factories as the cheapest versions are (very little paid workers, mostly underaged with awfully long hours with one little break). Those ones made before Chinese and Indian market opened to the West were made in the US and were excellent quality, so when I discovered that my dad had one of those I had to lose some weight to fit into it because I had those muscular “honey tights”. But here’s a link which swiftly explains the book and you can read about it if interested.:
The other one I have to mention is the book of the books
The Holy Bible
As a Christian, not practicing anymore because of the hypocrisy of the church as mostly as political institution, I was having classes of catechism after the red wall had fallen in 1989. I had so many questions I didn’t get the right answer for so I took it into my own hands and started to read respectively the Old Testament and the New Testament. I got a nice copy for the 18ths birthdays and one from my best friend which was the Protestant version so I could compare the differences between them. I was disgusted by stories in Old Testament and more disgusted by people in general because it’s stories are repeating in every decade of our existence and we didn’t learn from it. I loved the New Testament but didn’t like the apostles letters and other things added to it. I understood while the church is using them so much in ceremonies and preaching. It’s slightly or completely opposite to what Christ was trying to teach his followers. In my last confession I discussed this with the priest and he told me that he fully understand my points and that it’s my decision but later growing older I might come back to them.
Not the last one I wanted to talk about but this one is a good guide through understanding of those little things which makes huge difference.
