A selfie - too costly
In the world where "self-obsession" is the coolest penchant, selfie has been promoted from just being 'an image of one taken by oneself' to 'an image which defines one's life'.
Selfie is a great way of expressing 'self-love' until it takes your life or job. Yes! you read it right. The noisome trend became too costly that it charged a life and a job.
In an attempt of getting a perfectly mindless selfie in front of a running train in Mathura, three college-goers lost their lives. In August 2014, a 21 year old accidentally shot himself in the head while posing for a selfie with a loaded gun in Mexico City. In the same month, a woman went into coma after being bitten by cobra as she posed for a selfie with the snake.
Selfies recently became pricely not only for the clickers but also for some unfortunates. In May 2014, a pilot crashed while taking selfies in the cockpit. In April 2014, a women died in a head-on collision on a US highway seconds after she posted selfies on Facebook.
Apart from the above mentioned futile selfie attempts, recently, a Russian paramedic who took selfies in front of dying emergency patients was fired.
The addiction have gone crazy and viral. Creepy acts of clicking selfie with loved ones' dead body or just clicking to update one's toilet or honeymoon schedule is insane.
One of my friend, lately was struck in traffic caused by a driver clicking selfies to post on the Facebook.
One may laugh at the stupidity but its something serious. A selfie has turned into a disease. Being too obsessed is not a healthy attitude and one must know where to set the limit.
