Intention

Some people and companies advertise to influence the mind, they seek to get your attention and convince you to obey their will. They want something from you. It might be money; it could be your vote or they simply are looking for others to agree with them.

It is not wrong to advertise, but the intention is what matters most. It is one thing to share something and allow others the freedom to choose, but totally another to manipulate the mind and emotions of the masses to gain an economic or political advantage over others. Serving others is doing what is best for them and not yourself. It is doing what feels right and leaving the results to the universe.

The world economy for the most part is based on the manipulation of the mind and emotions of the masses. Their vulnerability is exploited and the end justifies the means. Success is in terms of possessions and pride in attainment. The carrot stick of fulfillment is placed just beyond their noses and enough hope is given occasionally to keep their interest until they have been almost used up.

People need things to survive and it is not wrong to advertise or make them, but the intention should always be on how it serves them and not on how much you will make off them. Using people is not in the best interest of the customer or the business itself.
