SHOWING OFF

Dear all,

Right from our childhood, we love to show and share our personal belongings with our elders, friends, and teachers. This gesture of sharing is natural, and most growing kids want to impress others with their property. This habit grows up with all of us, and we often control it in order to protect our privacy. But many cannot control this, and the situation worsens in many cases.

Often, we find many examples in our society that people want to show their social status to others. For this, they impress others with their branded dress, accessories, and ride; it describes their background and seems accurate when moving in the same circle. But they are loud if moving in a mediocre. Many of them obviously afford all this, but there are also examples who disguise themselves for any benefit or to deceive others.

Such differences and mismatches are often called the show-off culture. Some people feel inner satisfaction when they can tread over others. They try to generate an inferiority complex in others and feel proud. They promote personal belongings as if they are reachable to all classes and as if nothing is abnormal. People are influenced by this entire situation, and it does not end here. It starts an endless race where mediocre or lower-middle-class people also try to purchase such trendy and expensive things. Some of them do not care about right or wrong and want to achieve it all by hooks or crooks.

Another positive example is when people want to show their expertise to others so that they can be appreciated for their gifted talent. It is a natural way of expression, and all noble societies love to back up such skilled people. It also opens new ways to promote such talent. Sometimes these brilliant minds grab the opportunity to monetize their skills.

These days, social media is full of such examples where one tried and was appreciated afterward. Now, there is also a category of show-offs who know nothing but try to copy others and tag them as their original work. Whether it is content, life hacks, or DIY, all are copied many times, and all of them are given credit to the actual mastermind. Copying anybody is not bad, but for courtesy's sake, we should give credit to the original person. This attitude will be much appreciated and increase your credit and viewers in the serious community, I bet.

I know these habits are hard to catch, but one should try not to opt for them. “Nip the evil in the bud.” We are our own judge; our inner self always pinches us on such nasty things, but we often ignore it. Try to listen to yourself and get rid of it at an early age. If you delay, it will strengthen you. Being a show-off apparently doesn't seem very dangerous, but it has a lot. Silently but aggressively, it changes the structure of society and sets morality aside.

I have all this; if you have any suggestions, let me have your feedback. Your every word means a lot.

Best regards.
