Color Me nice (ARTICLES)

There is this instinct in me to hate selfies.  You know that self-taken pictures so common nowadays  simultaneous with the advent of camera-featured phones, along with social media sites.  People can now feature themselves sans photographer, director, couturier, or even make-up artist.  Why you can even make your own movie to suit your narcissistic passion.

At the onset of it all, my belief that man is primarily selfish really gets ground these days.  What makes me wonder is the fact that I was born and raised in an environment where humility is the greatest value. Much as I would want to set aside at the corner of my mind the timidity of trying to hold back something, still it strikes me that nowadays, being humble is considered a negative attitude.  For people to follow you, a much younger friend has said you should always show yourself as a viable commodity, with all the looks, talent, and anything that you can offer and could possibly earn you some cash.

Pity today that the world is loaded with narcissism that consideration for others is at times mostly set aside.  Why everyone of them tells me he or she is handsome or beautiful, although at times I’m seeking the aid of justice in their pronouncements.  Yes, people believe things are created once you believe, but this kind of thinking has been abused since time. 

There are people,  who are, from what a popular beauty queen once quoted “confidently beautiful”.  It’s just the confidence indeed.  A very powerful tool that people take advantage of.  Some are even “confidently smart” in writing. Yes, even in their posts, disregarding the taste for good spelling, grammar and even sentence construction.  And they justify their actions by saying that social media is for everyone, not just for the smart guys.
