Modern day Narcissus.

in #philosophy7 years ago

"He was proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis noticed this behavior and attracted Narcissus to a pool, where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus lost his will to live. He stared at his reflection until he died." -Wikipedia on Narcissus

Narcissus was so in love with his own image seen in the reflection of water that he was rendered unmovable and died while staring at himself. It was because of his own vanity that he became useless and ultimately died. Today our cameras and social networks have become the pool that Narcissus so obsessively became fixated upon. We obsess over our image reflected back to us on our telephone screen. This renders us immobile. Realize this and stop worrying so much about your reflection.
