The Ladders Delivers Twisted Logic

In an odd sort of reverse back stab, this new The Ladders commercial, Chairs, from Fallon delivers a confusing message. Confusing because The Ladders’ purpose is to serve those with jobs in the $100K plus range. Not the little guy. The big guy.

So how do they explain that in this new television commercial? By shooting and lassoing the big guy and kindly letting all the little ones go free. A mixed message at best.

And, yes, we know it’s a metaphor. Still.

Psychology says the kindest people are sometimes the loneliest not despite their kindness but because of it — because kindness extended to everyone equally is kindness that belongs to no one specifically, and intimacy has always required specificity

I read every self-help book on happiness ever published and followed every piece of advice for three years straight — and the reason I was still unhappy had nothing to do with gratitude journals or morning routines, it was that I’d been treating a wound with wallpaper
