It’s hard to not have a low self-esteem in this society. There are so many impossible standards of beauty and personality all over television and fashion magazines and advertisements, that are molding our minds to believe that, that is what we have to live up to.

And because it’s literally everywhere, people live by those standards and reject anyone who doesn’t take part in them.

That’s why so many people pretend to be who they’re really not, because they’re so caught up in this programmed lifestyle that they feel pathetic or scared of rejection, otherwise. It is all an illusion that makes us forget who we really are.

You have to remember that, these models literally get paid to have personal trainers and to work out every day and to starve themselves and to be that thin because it’s the new trend.

And they are also paid to set trends because it’s a system of control; “It’s up to each and every one of us to turn loose of just some of the greed, the hatred, the envy, and yes, the insecurities, because that is the central mode of control, make us feel pathetic, small, so we’ll willingly give up our sovereignty, our liberty, our destiny.” - Alex Jones.

These trends make people feel so pathetic about themselves if they don’t take part in them. And that opens a door to people being so obsessed with self image that they spend all of their money on it; with clothes, with diet pills, with gym memberships, with special expensive diet foods, etc. etc. etc. And the money they get from it is all they care about, along with keeping us tamed.

It is fake, completely set up in a way to keep the masses entertained and distracted from changing their comfort zone.

Being healthy is the most important thing, so much more important than reducing your health to fit up to these impossible standards of society.
