Selfie

     An instant to create and share, a selfie records your outward appearance during a single activity.  Presenting a snapshot of your inner thoughts and opinions takes a little more time.  We can also aim the camera away from ourselves to view other people and their behavior.  We need to take the time to understand the way they think.  The camera can also help us see into the distance far away from ourselves.  Understanding the bigger picture can help us mature beyond our selfie interests.
     Some people seem satisfied with their self-portraits, content with their outward image and their inner self.  Frequently, they find it easier to judge others than to focus on their own need for improvement.  Perhaps, they truly care about other people who seem to be harming themselves, risking their souls, and causing the downfall of society.  Perhaps, they just want to design the world according to their own opinions and beliefs.
     Taking and sharing a selfie presents our image to the world.  We send and receive these self-portraits which capture a moment in time.  Sharing our thoughts and opinions can reveal what is important to us.  Seeing beyond our own little world, respecting others, and looking at a variety of views can help us understand the big picture.
