%COSMETIC RELATIONSHIPS 771025
Cosmetic relationships are superficial personal
relationships which are dependent upon the maintenance of
appearances through the use of subjective technologies.
Businessmen use cosmetic relationships in many of their
sales promotional activities. Non-profit philanthropic
organizations use cosmetic relationships in many of their
solicitations for contributions to their worthy causes;
e.g, churches, social welfare agencies, missions,
hospitals, colleges, etc.
The cosmetic industry is dedicated to providing the
perspectives and equipment essential to maintaining
cosmetic relationships based upon attractive human bodies.
The cosmetic industry promotes the perspective that human
fulfillment is dependent upon and assured by appropriate
uses of their subjective technology. They promote the
notion that fulfillment can be achieved through the use of
manipulative procedures---which will be profitable to
their stock holders. They ignore the essential aspects of
meaningful human relationships and cover them with a mask
of fashion of their own design for their own profit. Those
who buy their package become their servants, if not their
slaves. They become enslaved, to maintaining cosmetic
relationships which are very fragile and may break down if
others succeed in seeing through the skin-deep mask. The
insecurity of the procedure promotes fear which promotes
intensified dedication to sophistication of the cosmetic
technology. Thus the enslavement to the cosmetic industry
is assured.
Cosmetic relationships are encouraged by the ethos of
a technocratic society in which most relationships are
manipulative. Any effort to transcend cosmetic
relationships will be futile in the absence of an effort
to transcend the fundamental absurdities of the
technocratic society. An inadequate effort is likely, to
fail. To try to succeed superficially will be futile. The
goal must be more transcendent than to correct one symptom
of a large problem/dilemma. The large problem must be
recognized and dealt with.
