Trouble with people in current times is that we are all narcissistic in our own ways. So much so, almost all of us can relate to Carly Simon's rendition of "You're so vain".
Through the age of the internet, we always deem ourselves more up to date than we ever were, with information just being at a click of the finger. But how much knowledge do we really have? How much can we consume through our eyes?
So much so, we actually tend to get very arrogant after a while and only see what we want to see. Or what we perceive is correct. So, in similar themes to love and work, we always think that we know what is best for ourselves, deciding first then asking around for similar view points. And we all hate criticism. So, we blank out all the negative criticism and compile a list of the positive ones, ultimately 'pre-deciding' the outcome. Then we go on to bitch about the choices we make six months down the line and yearn for the lost opportunities we gave up because we 'felt' it was right.
How do I know this?
Because I can imagine myself in Carly Simon's song...
