thanks arthur-schopen, such is the world we live in. Anyone who uses instagram (and that's like most of the modern world) probably enjoys pictures of themselves and the things they get up to. No one needs to be criticised for being social and sharing pieces of their life with everybody.
Do you take pleasure in going against the grain of the society we live in? That's a rhetorical question.

I enjoyed this reply.
I used to be a bodybuilder and model before i got sick and my addictions spun out of control.
There is nothing wrong with taking pride in your appearence of even recognising that you look good.
If I didnt lose my body and my looks i would have gone down the same genre as sweets for steemit.
Now I am running a diary: the diary of a heroin addict. Check it out...
Great post sweets.
Thank you goldenbrown, i'm intrigued to hear your story, I followed you to see more :)
@sweetssj not everyone uses Instagram so it is only a small part of the world we live, while it might be a large part of the world you live in. What your comment did do was make me ask the question how many people are on Instagram? It turns out 700 million, which was surprising. FB owns Instagram and that influencers charge up to $100,000 for a sponsored post. I think I will submit a story about it later today.
While there are real benefits of social media. Do you realise and some thing which I have known for some time is that is a link to physiological issues. Many people live in a world of oversharing and oversensitive mindset.
I do take pleasure in going against the grain of society and there is nothing wrong with it. Just because an opinion is popular doesn't make it right or true. As a curious person and a critical thinker, much of my knowledge is based on decades of research and observations.
You should try not get offended by someone just because they have a different view to you, it might actually be that they know a bit more about what they are talking about.
I wish you well, if you have the time, have a look at some of my posts, good luck to you.
Arthur, I simply cannot accept your logic particularly when you are claim to be a philosopher and yet can't coherently put together an argument without being snide about it. You should know better.
Your very first issue is that you made an assumption about me, and then you put a measurement of a trait that is totally subjective on a immeasurable scale and outright fleeced me.
I won't take a look at someone's blog who has nothing better to do than complain about the injustice of the world and claim to be a philosopher when they can't even put together an argument without serious logical inconsistencies. You may have spent decades conducting research and observed many things, but that doesn't automatically put you in a set of people that know anything about about whether I am vain, narcissistic or even whether your theories about the negative consequences of social media are true.
I have read plenty of philosophy and done plenty of critical thinking exercises myself, and I wouldn't approach formulating an argument based on lose observations and assumptions.
We are all philosopher's in some way shape or form. Do you understand what philosophy means or is about? I didn't study philosophy but one of the men I admire is Arthur Schopenhauer.
It is without a doubt in my mind that you are overtly egocentric and likely studied some nonsense like gender studies.
You come across very butthurt in your reply, it actually confirmed that the profile I and many others would have put on you fits.
If you look at my profile or not is not important to me, as you are just one, one petty little woman.
"Injustice" now you're making shit up.. I think your logic isnt very good and your ego is off the chart.
thanks arthur, each of your replies add another layer of insult, I applaud you for taking your time to critically analyse my psyche by attempting to entice me with irrational evaluations based on personal angst towards my outlook of the world, and the life that I choose to live. We are free to judge others in any way we want, and so you are welcome to judge me in any way you see fit.
On the other hand, I have chosen not to make things personal where as you have. So, I won't afford you the pleasure (or misery) of debating with you further about this. We all live in this world together, time to shed our hatred and see the positive side of things.
You are correct about this. The only reason you were attacked is that you happened to have some success here. Envy itself has been studied. Ayn Rand called it "hatred of the good for being good".
@shard4k "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities" your opinion, you're right, my opinion, my right.
and we will leave it at that.
You should visit Germany next Angela would like you to join her LOL
