The young population is now suffering from a narcissistic epidemic
caused by the modern conquest to look like a Greek god or goddess.
The idea is pushed everywhere you go and of course social media such
as Facebook and Twitter are spreading it even further with all kinds
of photos of naked men and women, which are also accompanied by text
– usually a hackneyed quote.
Whenever something becomes popular always try to find where the money
comes from in order to understand what's the true driving force
behind. In this case the finances come from nutritional supplements.
It's the companies producers who want the epidemic to continue
because increase of infected patients equals more sales of the
supposed cure – supplements, magazines, seminars, clothes, gym
memberships, equipment and other muscle related merchandise. The
brainwashing and obsession have gone beyond boundaries and more and
more people are getting into the game which is as always a double
sided endeavor.

There is certainly no wrong with trying to improve your physical
health through exercising but, as always, there is a large amount of
disinformation spread like a really bad, yet popular, CD thanks to
multimillion marketing strategies. As the number of people who want
to know the secret to muscles raises the confusion deliberately
increases. There are thousands of sites on the Internet dealing with
this very same phenomenon and the number will continue to move
upwards, because the demand is large and a cure is needed real bad.
This apparition has drilled an insanely large hole in the heads of
the youth. They are reading endless amounts of research, posting on
Internet forums, buying magazines, reading books, watching YouTube
videos and basically living their lives under a six-pack
dictatorship. I would not be surprised if a poll shows that 80% or so
would be happy to trade a part of their brain for an inch of muscle
on their arms.
All of this information has lead me to the following conclusion –
people have forgotten who owns their bodies. We are always expecting
someone else to tell us what to do and how to do it, the same why a
child expects his parents to teach him. In case you don't know your
body is more yours than it is anybody else's. You don't need to
follow dogmas and there is nobody out there who has the truth –
just a bunch of guys who pretends they do.
Truth is both – absolute but also personal. It's about your way of
finding piece with nature and all books and methodologies are merely
guidelines and the experience of other people who are quite often
speculating with their position of authority – there is a lot of
venom all over the place and that venom is ultimately helping only
the big corporations and their salesmen. The more confused an
individual is the more brainwashed and receptive to manipulation he
becomes. More manipulation, more money.
Don't be confused no more – you are the owner of your OWN body and
you should ask it first what to do instead of counting on other
people to show you the right path. They won't, because their goal is
for you to join their church, to subscribe to their YouTube channel
and to follow the bogus information they are telling you. If you
allow them to do that you are essentially giving them control over
your body and they dictate what you do with it.
Use the information you read just as a guideline, not a religion.
