Accepting  ourselves the way we are shows a high level of contentment and appreciation to our Creator. This fact will help us to equally accept others the way they are instead of judging the.

You know, reading your post I realized I'm not as comfortable in my own skin, as I thought...because I do want everyone to like me. I don't know why - actually, I do now! 
Personally I think that  a lot of the people who preach self-love and peace and acceptance are fakers, you know? People who actually do care what others think about them - they want to be perceived as cool and accepting. Most do, anyway....

Why do you always make me think? I mean, that's a good thing, but damn, some of those thoughts are quite mean ;)

> *There is no such thing as the perfect body and there is no such thing as the most beautiful person in the world, if you think there is, you are making a judgement decision on your own preferences.*

With your post, body shaming is condemned to the past, and everyone is given reasons to appreciate his or her body more. That's a welcome development.

I love this quote by the way:
**"The cleaner you get, the dirtier you become."**

When we judge others it is just something in ourselves that we are actually judging. Accepting our true individuality means permitting the individuality of others :)

People that are constantly trying to convince others that they are happy with themselves are most sertainly not happy with themselves. Trying to convince others is their way of slowly convincing themselves while actually being insicure.

Our lives are shaped by people's opinions and thoughts and rules. From our parents, to our guardians, to teachers at school, then the law, the society, it goes on and on. It is an uphill task to stop caring about what people think of you or say about you, but  very easy to point out flaws.

Everyone knows that AXE won't get you laid.

every pic is so hot.

advertising can only add to the delusion of people all zero big than in real life

we can not change a person without him who wants to change to be better .....

with us suggesting he would be willing to hear our opinion in order to become a better and perfect person in the future.

 delightful &  surreal!

Well sometimes I am guilty of trying to force my "ideal" self on other people when I think I am helping them. Sometimes I stop and realize I am making a mistake.

i agree with your point of view and i like the fact that you chose advertising campaign for Dove as an example 😂

> Dove is a Unilever brand, Axe is another of theirs. Feel empowered?

Heh, I wouldn't. 

> The surefire way to know if someone has accepted themselves or not is how they treat others and how they attack those who do not accept them. 

That's so true. if you've already accepted yourself for who you are, then other people's opinions of you aren't going to make you freak out...because you're ok with you. 
I'm not perfect, but I consciously try not to be as manipulated by advertisements. I'm not going out and buying a ton of new products to make sure my woman wants me. If your woman only wants you because of what you own, is that a healthy relationship? It could be. It's not my preference though.

Do I accept it? Sadly so I guess....

> How ludicrous is it to think that you can change a system that makes a massive amount of money from playing both sides.

It's completely ludicrous, and that's because we know nothing else. From the early stages in life we get completely brainwashed by advertisements. Young children watch TV and get overwhelmed by all the ads about toys, dolls, the newest technology etc etc. Our society is a consumption-society and it's almost impossible to remove yourself from that paradigm. Same thing happens with how we view the ideal man or female. The media gives us the truth and we act accordingly. 

Trying to get away from that mentality is in my opinion almost impossible. It's like the guy from "Into the Wild" who wants to escape from everything he's ever known and wants to start all over again, take a dive in the unknown. But what does that look like when you talk, in this example, about a beauty ideal? Where are you gonna find a new definition? Can you really make up your own ideal when you've been indoctrinated by society-driven thought for your whole life? I don't think that's possible...

EMPOWERMENT   " We want people to accept us for who we are even if they are forced to change to do so"

We are creatures that need others to like us, to be part of the group / team . To be accepted . 
If you are not  not a member of these groups you are shunned , and not accepted for who you are .
What a shame !
