WORLD OF SELFIES!
World Of Selfies!
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be;
and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing
under the sun.
Is
there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already
of old time which was before us.
Living in the world of selfies sometimes feels like
magic to people. Hey, this is a new trendy revolutionary way of discovering self-worth!
True
that, since this supports and boosts self-confidence, indirectly strengthens the
overall healthy mind for selfie-takers!
The first known selfie was done by Robert Cornelius, a
pioneer photographer in 1839.
As
expected and given the slow budding technology, it took hours just to take one
single shot.
Fast forward to early 1900’s. A woman took her selfie
using the mirror just like Robert Cornelius.
Our
Modern World must be forever grateful to all the great pioneers who laid the ground
for us.
Selfies never took off and became the buzzword since
the last two centuries.

Did you know that there’s not even one ugly person in
the sight of God? We call each other ugly just to spite another.
We
live in the world juxtaposed between two mirrors. Nobody has ever come back
crying cause they felt ugly after using the mirror.
Status-Quo is the mirror of shame where so-called
judges decide who’s ugly or beautiful.
If
you woke up all the dead before 2013, they’d be horrified at this generation taking
pictures of themselves anywhere and everywhere.
Our modern day etymology for a selfie took shape in
Australia in 2013. Selfies began to trend and spread all over the world.
Sometimes,
I just sit back and wonder how many of the things we do actually began with this
generation.
While the modern age man sees himself as superior to
people who lived in Medieval Times: there’s not much difference comparatively
speaking.
The
more times change historically, the more generations look similar to
generations before.
No matter how many times you flip the same coin in the
air, on landing it will still be the same coin it was before the flip.
Some
of us cannot leave our homes before we doused ourselves with makeup. I can’t smile
confidently since I lost two incisors due to heavy sugaring as a boy.
You must be sitting on top of the world if all your selfies
cannot find any defects in your selfie-self.
Everyone everywhere has inalienable
right to stand in front of the mirror and feel right about themselves.
Mirrors are the actual pioneers for selfies long before the birth of photography.
Feeling
Suicidal? A selfie might just save your life and help you look well ahead!
