An ad from a Bed, Bath and Beyond circular.
I’m tired of the “Live, Love, Laugh” trend. I saw this item in a circular yesterday, and it struck me as home decoration that will not age very well. In 20 years, that kind of stuff is going to look ridiculous.
It’s heavy speculation to hang words in the house. For instance, the font could fall out of favor. Think of how poorly popular fonts of the 1970s have aged.
Anyway, whenever I hear or read “Live, Laugh, Love” (or its verbose cousin “Live Well. Laugh Often. Love Much.”), I don’t think of it as a credo for how to live. It always sounds like the tagline to a yogurt commercial. I see families slow-motion-slurping yogurt in some fantasy land of golden sunshine and tire swings.
