Since I talked about sloth yesterday I thought I could add another mortal sin to my daily blog. The seven sins are: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride. Of these I believe pride is both the most difficult to avoid and the most damaging. I feel that social media has unleashed a deluge of "sinful" pride on the world. People are "proud" to exhibit themselves to the world. It seems that everything we (or our children, husbands, wives, friends, pets, etc) do needs to be shared with the wider world in order to validate our existence. I wonder why so many of us humans are obsessed with fame. In today's world nothing is as valued as being recognised. Whether its the number of friends you have on facebook, contacts on linked in, readers of your blog or minutes on tv success is defined in terms of number of people who know you. I find it strange that any one would actually want to be famous. Isn't it obvious that only insecure people need external validation? Why would you want to be known for being insecure?
