Social Media has created a vain world.  Once upon a time only celebrities were able to have hundreds, thousands, MILLIONS of followers.  But thanks to the multi platforms of Social Media, your average Joe (or Jane) can now have millions of followers.  Not only that, but now you can even have your OWN TV show!  Cool this is, but suppose EVERYONE was able to do the same.

My daughter has many friends (she is 16).  They come in all sorts of characters:  emotionally deprived, extra happy, needy, jealous etc.  I know all of them.  It very much astonishes me how they live their lives.  No, it astonishes me of the life they live in.  The need to have thousands of followers they don't even know.  The need to get likes on their Instagram posts, Facebook posts...  And it is not that they are presenting a business, show or any entrepreneur money making product.  They are presenting SELFIES!  Selfies of them standing in a mirror, sitting in a car, standing by a public toilet!  But you really have to think about it:  If a girl is taking a photo of herself in a public restroom, what does that say about her?  Just asking...  Does the women's bathroom have condom machines in them?  I don't know.  But I know the mens restrooms do!  Think about that for a second.

But some of these girl friends are addicted to checking for "Likes".  They are checking their phones every 5 minutes.  It's a bloody addiction it is!  But a terrible addiction.  These girls are pretending to be Hollywood celebrities.  Any boy who says they look like a female actress the girl adds to her Instagram or Snapchat.  This totally creates a cyberworld where SHE is the actress.  Fascinating (Albert Einstein voice).  But this creates a terrible vain addiction.  This makes the girl shallow.  Her emotions become quite see-through.  This type of person shows a caring heart to gather fans.  But if you do the slightest thing wrong, she will disown you, blacklist you.  

I saw this evil activity when my daughter was only 5 years of age:  First day of school this little girl gave hugs to ALL the new girls.  She did this every day before class.  All the girls loved her.  Just 2 weeks later she started telling certain girls they can be her friend and others that they could not.  Eventually she told the girls that she did not pick that if they did not like my daughter she would let them be her friend.  WHAT!!!  Oh yes she did.  So it doesn't just come out as a teen.  This stuff starts early.

But Who Do You Blame?

I know a girl who is only 14 years old and has had 15 boyfriends already.  She has gone through this many boyfriends because they are not perfect enough.  But what is perfect?  The slightest thing goes wrong and she breaks up with the boyfriend.  An argument she breaks up with the boyfriend.  Now throughout the Social Media she is called a "Hoe".  She gets pissed and blocks all of those who call her that wretched name.  But she has been seen with 15 different boyfriends.  Immediately everyone is wrong and she is the one that is right.  She has played for multiple sports teams because the coaches did things she didn't like.  So she left those teams.  She left boys for little things and left multiple sports teams for little things.  It's the world's fault and not hers.

The day will come when these types of people will no one else left to run from.  People will see their fakeness and run away!  Then the day will come when one will only be able to run to themself.  But once they look into the mirror and realize who they are, where will they run?  Because wherever they go, they will still be with themself. 

A very good episode of Twilight Zone called "Nervous Man In a Four Dollar Room" 

"This is Mr. Jackie Rhoades, age thirty-four, and where some men leave a  mark of their lives as a record of their fragmentary existence on Earth,  this man leaves a blot, a dirty, discolored blemish to document a cheap  and undistinguished sojourn amongst his betters. What you're about to  watch in this room is a strange and mortal combat between a man and  himself, for in just a moment, Mr. Jackie Rhoades, whose life has been  given over to fighting adversaries, will find his most formidable  opponent in a cheap hotel room that is in reality the outskirts of The  Twilight Zone."
