A selfie is fast becoming a sign of a self-centered
person.
It seems that Gen Y can think of
only “I, Me & Myself”. Oh! Come on, you know how pretty you are. So why
care about how many “Likes” you get for a particular selfie? But then the next thought that comes to my
mind is scowling faces and sneers. This is because if we don’t click a superb
selfie of the pretty face and post it and get the highest number of likes, how
will we make our other friends jealous?
“LET OTHERS BURN” is rapidly turning
into our generation’s motto. But wait aren’t we missing something? Can’t we for
once change the camera mode and close the shutter to capture the smiling face
of an underprivileged child eating candy floss? Can’t we make other people burn
at our awe-inspiring heart? No we can’t. Until we show people how much
narcissistic we are, we don’t belong to this “AWESOME ME” generation.
The selfie culture is fast becoming an
integral part of teenage life. As a result of this, sweet happy memories are
getting lost. No one thinks of turning the pages of an old album to see what
their old Labrador looked like when it was a puppy. Moreover, many talents are
getting lost too. Earlier it used to be free time equals to library time or, drawing time but these days it has come down to free time equals to “Snapchat”
time or “ Instagram” time. I know that quite many of my readers will be ranking
me as primordial but I think that these little moments of bliss are fugacious.
Just spare them a minute and keep them safe. The selfies and the selfie mode
will always be there.
All I want to say is, click Selfies but don’t turn it
into an OBSESSION!
