LG are one of the world's largest electronics manufacturers and they have this 'life is good' strap-line. It seems more than a little strange that an Electronics company would tell me that life is good.
Why is life good?
Because LG tell me it is?
Because the stuff they sell makes life good?
Becasue electronics are good?
Since when did electronic equipment determine whether life is good or not? How sad would it be if the goodness of life depended on whether or not I owned a flat screen TV or a DVD player or a fridge freezer? Are LG even trying to say that the goodness of life is enhanced by their stuff?
I have nothing against LG. In fact I think they make some good and reasonably priced things, but I do have a problem with them perpetuating the myth that having stuff and the goodness of life are interlinked.
Try telling someone who is depressed that LG says life is good. That will help them!
Goodness comes from many things, love, family, friends, community. Being out in the fresh air and enjoying the beauty of creation.
When we know that life is good it is not dependent on stuff.
