This is brilliant. The brilliance lies in the stark truth of what the ad is saying to me because... I was about to quit my job! (and I kid you not). To save the world (I seriously kid you not).
How many of us are locked in the routine cycle of the corporate world, breathing in the mundane money-powered lifestyle and finally realising that there's something missing that's really bigger than our paycheck? Either after being exposed to a one time pow-wow campaign (think KRONY) or incessant exposure to causes that pull our pity strings in all directions, that we decide to call it quits because we're (true to the following ad below) sad, angry, guilty for not doing what we can to save whatever we feel we should be saving.
Yup. That's me.
But what if we're all meant to be play our part in this ecosystem of superheroes. What if we all have different super powers? There's only one of each in the Avengers. So it wouldn't work if 80% of us quit to join the 20% Greenpeace advocates to stop the capitalistic world from misbehaving. I mean, if 100% of us is on the other side fighting the cause, then logically speaking there's no one to fight against anyway, right? Right. That's one solution.
But here's another one, probably a better one given there're 80% of us scattered across the globe; Sit at your desk, do what you're skilled to do, live the life you're creating but make better smarter choices. Maybe it's time for us to redeem our guilt by practising some self-compassion that we're not so bad after all. We could choose a cuppa from free-trade versus a mugga that's not. Maybe there is an easier way to do things. And the easier way is presented here: Enjoy.
