An indiscriminate hunger for appreciation or affection … written by the romanian writter Adrian Gabriel Dumitru

Why we post our lifes on social media?!
Why we look who liked or photos?!
Why we care so much obout other what people think of us?!

Art of defining life in the contemporary society should start with those 3 silly questions.
Seneca was a nice guy who lived about 2000 years ago.
If you read his thoughts, and dont know who he was ... and read especially his ideas about the mouth of the world, you might think that he is probably a professor of philosophy speaking about our society from 21st century.
So our value is defined by the mouth of the world?! It was the same 2000 years ago?!

George Soros has an interesting theory about the values on the stock markets.
He says that the values are defined by what people think that other people think.
So ... we dont speak about real values, but by prices influenced of the opinions of people involved in buying - selling process.
This is why if a group of people start to sell, they all start to sell and the values goes down and vice versa.
Letting other people define your real value in the “stock market” of social media ... in the end proves to be a silly thing.
Nobody can define your value better than you and nobody has the right to underevaluate your actual position.
