The Story of a Selfie Obsessed Generation
Twenty years later, this time will be laughed at as the decade when taking a picture with a celebrity was considered an achievement, people felt great by soaking in others glory, confidence was confused with self-promotion & suddenly life's purpose was to be known, even if it was for nothing.
This decade is one of obsession with self-image via selfies, self-promotion, bragging and showing the world an unauthentic self. But is self-image the only thing that matters?
Imagine what it would be like if we go back to our roots, to what our teachers and parents taught us, to be good, resilient and humble, and focus on our karma instead of our image.

8 年Good thought and true.But can't be generalised. I believe we don't come across other set of people who are introspective and do nurture ethics and values.

8 年Intent is the key. Expression of spirit and joy needs also not to be bound. So the motive of why is paramount.

8 年Hi Ameera, you have touched awesome subject! I sometimes wonder how much unnecessary baggage of self esteem is being carried on by today's generation. They are so much distracted with micro messaging on FB, what'sapp and on top Selfies.Likes..etc.Human mind simply cannot consume so much information. And what's their concentration span?
