The selfie and social media strutting, bragging and posing by young people that are convinced that they are exceptional when they are doing silly, boring, mundane things like playing with their cat or putting gas in the car.
Each human being is laden with miraculous abilities and fantastic potential to emerge as a recognized super-person and great soul, but these enormous status appellations are based on merit. The capacity for exceptionality and personal greatness are always there in each of us, but hard work, decades of focused effort, and the guidance of one's guardian angel are some of the examples of earned excellence.
This is not reality to the self-appointed, self-congratulatory status of instant exceptionality without basis or even modest accomplishment in the factual world out there.
The Good Spirits want us to be self-confident, but strutting, bragging, showing off and being rude to others, sugggesting how superior one is to them--these misbehaviors are the height of rudeness and inconsiderate insult to the feelings of others.
Strutting is immature and callow, and in very poor taste. One need not be a humble person, but one must act humbly in public or on social media, treat all with courtesy and welcome. Bragging that one is above everyone else is not the way to go.
