Asserting that makeup can do little beyond creating a fleeting illusion of youth and beauty, cosmetics giant Revlon launched a new series of ads this week aimed at reminding its customers they will never be able to change what they are.

The company’s “You Are What You Are” campaign, which debuted with dark and haunting multi-page spreads in several major fashion magazines, cautions consumers that, at best, makeup is a sad disguise people hide behind in a futile attempt to avoid uncomfortable facts about their true nature.

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Zero Aggression,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Nothing is more surprising than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few." - David Hume (7 May 1711 - 25 August 1776)

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, John T., after he posted a poem being shared by the page, “Emily Dickinson“…

John T.: This is cute…

“I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell!
They’d banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
TO an admiring bog!” – Emily Dickinson

Rayn: ❤

John T.: You know I like the crew!

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Believing Absurdities in Order to Commit Atrocities“..

Rayn: “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” – Voltaire

Jonas A.: Exactly!!!

Rayn: Indeed. The apaths among us who believe otherwise are only fooling themselves!

Jonas A.: Yes, that too is correct! When the real SHTF, they will know the real meaning of those words…
