The Anatomy of Attention-Addiction

Standard

I specifically remember seeing a Posts via Social-Media, which I found astronomically vain as well as hypocritical. The Online-Posts features Video-Statements of Countless-Individuals, Muslims especially, pontificating/claiming they’re not on Social-Media to be seen or for “Likes”. That, more than anything else, I focused on exclusively above&beyond whatever else mentioned. I often honed-in on that, because I know for a Fact that what they uttered was All-Caps on a Keyboard.

There’s Several-Reasons how/why I conclude that the Persons-In-Question are Total-Liars:

1. It’s a Sifah/Dimension of Human-Nature, to yearn for Validation, Recognition, etc. as per what we personally do.

2. Social-Media is 💯% predicated upon Validation, Recognition, etc. & that’s how/why Millions of Persons globally use Social-Media Platforms.

3. It literally defies Basic-Intelligence, to even be on Social-Media Platforms if Validation/Recognition isn’t being desired.

There’s a Catch-22 to the Pontification/Claim of Persons such as them. It’s very obvious when one objectively thinks about it-They attempt to posture themselves as a “Religious/Righteous-Person”: free from succuming to Attention-Addiction. But, ironically, their own Social-Media Presence/Platforms exposes their Pseudo-Piety for what it truly is. Basically, they want to be seen as “Islāmically-Superior” to Others (as though they’re so “above” Attention-Addiction).

Not only did they expose their Religio-Arrogance, they made themselves look Mad-Wack. No one of any Principle is going to respect anyone whom attempts to be unaffected via the Realities of Social-Media, while literally they themselves use it as well. It’s just idiotic, to say the least. But, this the Reality which is totally apparent via our Lifetimes. Certain-Persons whom adopt the “Holier-Than-Thou” Mythos/Pseudo-Narrative, attempting to portray themselves being “Beyond-Reproach”, ironically tend to be amongst the Most-Debaucherous of Individuals…as I always say: It’s easy to judge People, when our Sins aren’t Public-Knowledge.

Whenever there’s those making the Claims I’ve detailed…if they really meant what they said:

1. They’d never want anyone to know whom they are generally.

2. They wouldn’t even indulge in using Social-Media.

3. They’d never personally have their own Social-Media Platforms.

It’s exclusively a Ploy of Self-Serving Pseudo-Superiority. Those who say they don’t produce Online-Content for Attention…the Fact that they put anything Online period: that by default is Proof-Positive that they’re untrustworthy. It’s literally no different/better, when someone says: “I’m humble.”. Literally, saying “I’m humble.” undoubtedly proves how arrogant a Person truly is. For anyone to think/feel they have to vocalize their “Humility”: that by default isn’t Humility anyway. Humility isn’t a Slogan, it’s Character&Behavior.
