I saw an advert that epitomises what is wrong with this world. There was two chocolate fingers at the top of a really nice stairway. The brunette one was being a cow to the blonde one. And the blonde one was trying to persuade the brunette that she wasn't like all the others, although she may look it. That inside she was different and special. But it all went wrong and the brunette stepped intensely towards the blonde who then fell down the amazing staircase and snapped in half on the floor!!! At which point the brunette saw that the blonde really WAS different. She was crunchy biscuit layered with smooth white chocolate and then original Cadbury's creamy milk chocolate. And realised that she was indeed fabulous. But it was too late. The blonde was already snapped.
It's like Van Gogh. He was crazy and depressed and left handed and even one eared and people thought he was just an arty farty weirdo. It wasn't until his death that people realised how beautiful his works were and what a talent he was. Now his work sells for lots of money and has appreciation worldwide, but he's dead and he never heard anyone say anything nice about him or his work during his life. If only Don McLean had released his song a little earlier, maybe Vincent wouldn't have ended up with just one ear?
People are so bitter and judgmental. And they don't realise how they could hurt someone for their entire life, not realising that the person was amazing, until they aren't there to hear it anymore.
If we appreciated the people who really deserved it like Princess Diana, Oscar Blaketon and Linda McCartney. Instead of wasting our affections on flop stars and Gastro-band goddesses, I'm sure ourselves and our children would live life with a better understanding of what makes someone amazing.
I'm not sure if I was just ranting or not but it was a very thought provoking advert. Maybe more so than Cadbury's intended. Bravo. I like the tea bag one as well.
