it's not that you need to be an academic to be able to have a more or less vision
Agreed. Academics does not necessarily give wisdom.It merely provides knowledge. Knowledge is impossible but alone is not enough for critical thinking and evaluation requires wisdom too. Sometimes,we come across the word of wisdom from those who haven't been to schools ever.
I realized how disgusting it is to kiss or talk to someone who smells like cigarettes
Interesting. Does it mean that when you quit smoking and stayed aaay from its smell then you realized that the smell was disgusting? Or you mean something else?
wild marketing focused on sexuality
Sexuality is one of the most commonly used theme in marketing. Once we conducted a research on underlying messages of ads and woooh I realized the prevalence of sexualism was far higher than we think.
Intelligence for me is selling a product to those who don't want to buy it.
!LOLZ. And sometimes, people holding such intelligence are evil genius.
Thanks for your contribution @manclar

Yes, as I still think, people have to be more independent, stop being those sheep that follow where the flock goes and start following their own path. maybe that will help improve your environment.
Not only the smell, but it was more the sensation of feeling in a pure environment, without pollution, it was a very big difference, before I saw everything with a cloud of smoke around and now I saw the entire environment without fog. Every time a smoker approached, I felt (and still feel) in the presence of contaminated air, of a toxic person, so I tried to stay away because I have already verified that smokers are usually linked to activities that I do not like, such as vices. , jobs in unpleasant places where there are more smokers, and things like that. So it is not in my interest to have that type of people in my social circle, I aim for philanthropists, musicians, artists and people who may smoke, but who contribute something to society, not a bar bouncer, that every day you beat drunks.
Yes, I admire them, and I study them, they are better than common geniuses :)
I get your point about smoking now. Thanks for making it clearer. When we are habitual of living in contamination it is not possible for us to understand how living without contamination feel. The difference can only be understood when we live a life witout it.
30 years is a long time. I am curious to know what was the thing that motivated you to not smoke. I know health was one of the issues as you alreay mentioned, but I think an addiction like smoking needs stonger motivation.
Well, in my case, seeing death directly in my eyes on 5 or 6 occasions, I think it was enough motivation...the last time was about 7 years ago (I had not smoked for approximately 10 years) and I suffered respiratory arrest as a collateral consequence. even after so many years without having tried a single cigarette. That day I was doing my normal activities, cooking at home. I suffered a spasm in my throat, the sensation was horrible, today when I tell you this I relive the emotion and the trauma...my larynx contracted and I couldn't breathe for 30 seconds, in the first 10 seconds I had the attack of anxiety, then I used my knowledge and spiritual techniques of a lifetime (I was a spiritual counselor for more than 30 years, but this is part of other stories of my life, yes I know...I am an interesting person, they tell me everything time...), I resorted to "combat breathing" (a technique that teaches you to hold the air for several seconds) and I focused on doing it, that allowed me to last about 30 seconds without air while the spasms in my throat ended and the inflammation went down.
Fortunately the inflammation subsided in a short time, the trachea opened again allowing air to pass through, and I was able to continue breathing...that is to say I was saved...this was the sequel years after the abuse of smoking and also other things (abuse of drugs for many years, today I am clean, I do not drink, smoke, or consume any type of medication or drug for more than 15 years)
And that's what happened to me.
They say it right. Your life experiences enriched with well contemplated expression make you an interesting person 🙂
