Self-praise

11/01/2022 Nilson Lattari

We may say that our society has been living a moment that we can call Narcissism. But it’s not a Narcissism that faces a water mirror or after taking a shower faces a mirror in the bathroom. Narcissism is reflected in the texts and comments on social media.
It’s Narcissism upside down: people show knowledge who have not it because their thoughts are elaborated by the echo of their brains, in case these thoughts represent some knowledge.
This Narcissism is the void in a high level of idiocy.
Self-praise that doesn’t recognize its own mistakes. It keeps in error and hides a red ashamed face behind the anonymity of social media. Has the Internet found the virus or has it turned into a destructive virus of our imaginary dreams? They are imaginary things because, today, unfounded ideas are scattered all over the world and they are based on a false Narcissus. This Narcissus divides the world and organizes it into three segments: Those people that study, those people that don’t study and the others who imagine that study and fill their intellectualism with fragments of knowledge based on memes. Shallow processes are full of nonsense. Memes answer every question, even people for those that don’t want to receive the correct answers. Their intentions are only making confusion.
In short, the actual Narcissism is occupied to answer the questions founded in shallow answers from shallow memes.
The “scholars”, the “specialists” seek for evidence to prove the nonsense because they practice self-praise, and lead insane groups like zombies. They generate values to themselves, and feed the idiocy seeking out a justification to prove the sound of echo from their thoughts.
The world is not cruel and History neither. The cruelty of the wish of not understanding the world and not accepting History, when they don’t agree with this Narcissism and isn’t in accord to their ideal world.
This post-modern Narcissus looks himself at the mirror of the naught, and self-praises to explain things that he doesn’t understand. Therefore, he doesn’t see himself and he sees another person who isn’t himself but another person that he would like to be.
Anonymous people hide the shame that they feel. If they don’t like the answer, the question will be canceled and Narcissus will pass to another mirror where he would be the person that he assumes to be and will find his desired answer.
The problem of the post-modern Narcissism exists because it’s a bubble of self-praise and passes to admire himself. He realizes or understands that the best mirror to him is the bubbles that speak about himself.
Narcissus doesn’t care about the opinions of others and he is happy with himself. The post-modern Narcissus needs to convince himself and the others that he has a perfect way of life.
