Self-praise

11/01/2022 Nilson Lattari

We may say that our society has been living in a moment that we can call Narcissism. But it’s not 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 they don’t have because their thoughts are elaborated from 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 did it become a destructive virus of our imaginary dreams? They are imaginary things because, today, unfounded ideas are scattered around the world and are based on a false Narcissus. This Narcissus divides the world and organizes it into three segments: People who study, those who don’t, and others who imagine studying and fill their intellectualism with fragments of knowledge based on memes. Shallow processes are full of nonsense. Memes respond to all questions, even people who don’t want to receive the correct answers. Their intentions are causing confusion.
In short, the actual Narcissism responds to questions found in shallow answers from shallow memes.
“Scholars” and “specialists” seek evidence to justify nonsense because they practice self-praise to lead insane groups like zombies. They generate values themselves and feed the idiocy, seeking out a justification to prove the sound of an echo from their thoughts.
The world is not cruel, and History is neither. The cruelty is not understanding the world and not accepting History, when they disagree with this Narcissism because they aren’t aligned with their ideal world.
This post-modern Narcissus looks at himself in the mirror of the nought, and self-praises to explain things he doesn’t understand. Therefore, he doesn’t see himself but sees another person who isn’t himself but another person who would like to be.
Anonymous people hide their shame. If they don’t like the answer, the question will be cancelled, and Narcissus will pass to another mirror where he could 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.
