Suppose I told you that you can enjoy the time when TV ads are being presented. Would you believe it?

"All those Ads on TV!" people complain.
"I wish there were not all these ads on TV!" another person will say.
I, too, have said these things to express my displeasure with being bombarded with TV ads.
But no longer am I annoyed by TV ads. Most of which are designed to inform a person of how "un-ok" he/she is and how by using the products or services being advertised he/she can become ok. In some of these ads the listener is told to ask his/her doctor if the product is right for him/her? What audacity! You are paying your doctor, who should know more about you than an ad pontificator who likely has never seen you let alone diagnosed you, to prescribe the medicine that is best for you. Hopefully he is knowledgable and competent enough to do that without the help of a TV ad hustler.
So, no longer am I adversely effected by TV ads. When they are shown I don't need to use a remote control to switch channels or navigate to mute. This is my surefire and enjoyable "Antidote for TV ads." Just before or when the ad begins I begin to sing enthusiastically and with my bio-musical volume turned up one of these two songs: "Born Free" or "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." Before or about time I have finished singing a song and without having been effected, even subliminally, by the TV ads, the ads have disappeared.
So, if you want to be glad, not mad, when TV ads appear on your TV screen select one or two songs, more if you like, that you will sing while TV ads are being displayed on your TV. Sing with gusto! I have chosen songs that allow me to do that.
Thomas Carlyle spoke well when he said, "Give us, oh, give us, the man who sings. He will persevere longer. One is scarcely sensible of fatigue whilest he marches to music."
I use a similiar technique when people are talking around me and to me, at least they think they are, saying negative things that I don't want to hear. At such times, instead of singing, I recite silently this 100-word poem that I wrote more than twenty years ago, "Life is Delectable." It begins with the words, "It's a great day to be alive!" And at such times, I have recited it more than a half-million times.
Remember, the best remedies to conteract the effects of poisons designed by others for your intake are in your hands. You have the antidote to the meaninglessness and unhealth in our society that, in large part, is fueled by advertising and consumerism.
