Two Different Terms

Lifestyle and relationships are different terms which do not have concrete definitions. However, the two terms hang together, since our lifestyle is determined by our relationships, and our relationships are determined by our lifestyle. These notions have a great significance in the 21st century. Big companies are aware of this fact, and they try to take advantage of it. Nevertheless, it is not always easy to decide whether “interesting” magazine topics (such as 'Losing Weight without Effort') have a real basis. Sometimes, these articles try to manipulate us, and playing with people’s emotion can be an efficient device. Thus, critical thinking is indispensable in this case, too. Thinking is a keyword, as many people simply do not know how they want to live (because they are not able to think about it). As a result, they read stupid articles which tell them what to do. This is a kind of new lifestyle. The question is: “Who wants to live this way?”
