Nova days it is popular that everything has to have a meaning. And everything truly has a meaning, but as the collective those meanings are, the subjective individual opinion cannot be removed from any of it. Reaction is the one that create this collective thinking, and some of them hide tones of individual honesty that is way much different than what is on the surface.

Thus to that, I chose to describe TAOS, driven by the upbringing that made me modest to think positive about myself with lots of self-judgement. I always had a feeling that selfies are desperate call for attention. And I still think that they are call for attention, sharing your inner emotions or fooling the others about it, but what made me think deeper was this little question ringing in my head: 'Aren't we doing this with all our actions?'. What is the difference from sharing a beautiful landscape, a food-plate, or hmm... your own face?! They all create an image of you, a brand, and the logo you use will be the one that will provoke the reaction of others. Critical or not, their reactions will surround you with those ones you want in your life, and eliminate the ones you don't.

As anything in our life, the thing that makes something valuable is the pure thought. The control over your life, or your control over life will determine is your wish to present yourself to others will rule you, or you will rule with it. The key is to realize: What brings you joy, or what is making you sad? What kind of conformation of your-own existence are you craving for?! If you don't create any impression on others, or you don't get any reaction, do you exist at all?

The philosophical discussion of this sort can last until the new era of thinking erode. My point of view is that selfie will always be criticized, over rated or be used as self-conformation tool. It will play you over, or be played with. It is your choice what kind of value will you add. Artistic, or chip thrills?
