The power of attraction.
A world without attraction is nothing but a messed up Tower of Babylon.
It’s one of the few genuine things that happen to us and take hold of our actions and thoughts, direct and give meaning to what we do, make us go through hell, come back, take a nap and then climb our way to heaven.
Even in marketing, PR and advertising, attraction is a powerful tool used on the masses. How can you resist what attracts you? You wait until time makes it easier for you to handle the emotions that seem to possess your behavior.
Unconsciously, attraction to others or other things will make your free-will mean NOTHING. As unreasonable as it is, attraction is NOT a primitive psychological mechanism. Do you really think your psyche would be so focused on something based on primitive motives like… the need to survive and reproduce? Isn’t this a bit too simplistic and quite unfair? Just because its so powerful and apparently irrational, attraction shouldn’t be dismissed as primitive, immature or unreasonable.
We do things because we like them. We buy stuff because we love what that stuff makes us feel like. We get along with people because attraction makes us more tolerant, empathic and interested in them.
So yes, attraction gets a thumbs up from me. It works really well although it may drive me crazy from time to time.
Great.
Atracţia e unealta perfectă pentru cei din marketing. Dar ce facem cu cei lipsiţi de autocontrol?
