See if you remember this TV ad jingle from the seventies:
“I’m a Pepper, he’s a Pepper, she’s a Pepper, we’re a Pepper! If you drink Dr. Pepper, you’re a Pepper, too!”
Hey, if you want to be a Pepper, that’s fine.
One of the keys to life, though, is to not just be a Pepper.
By all means, go ahead and drink a certain soda, drive a certain car, don’t let anything come between you and a certain pair of jeans – if you remembered the jingle; you’ll remember the jeans ad – but draw the bulk of your identity and self-worth from what you’re putting out into the world, and not from what you’re taking in.
