The Hampton Herald
It appears likely that New Brunswick will see a carbon tax in the not too distant future. While, a cap and trade system is still possible, the current government is hinting carbon tax. They are also hinting that the carbon tax would not be rebated back to the people who paid the tax, but rather be put into economic development activities. If this is in fact, what actually comes about, my comment would be BONEHEADS. I know that I have said it before, but let me say it once again. Governments are political animals and know nothing about economic development. I am not against a carbon tax whatsoever, but I am definitely against the government spending that tax money. Distributed back to the families of the province, they will individually make the best decision how that money will be spent. And yes, for some, the money will not be well spent, but collectively, the families of the province will make much smarter decisions than any government. The capitalist system works so well, because each person votes with every dollar they spend which business and which products survive. Some buy soft drinks and some buy chainsaws, but ultimately, the best solutions for reducing carbon emissions will be decided by the voters (families) of the province. Now, here is what happens. The government subsidizes a solar panel plant. Great idea... right!!! But, I buy a windmill to generate my electrical savings, and you buy a
smaller more fuel efficient auto, and Joe installs a small stream electric unit on his property, while Jack opts to buy booze, turn down the thermostat and wear a sweater. No solar panels are sold (an obvious exaggeration) and our subsidized panel plant is done for and so is our money!! If New Brunswick had the distinct ability to be the best solar panel maker in the world, chances are many of the really smart businesses out there would have already figured it out and have manufacturing plants established here. Subsidies are a bonus for smart businesses because you are paying them to do what they already know is a good solid business idea, but are willing to take your money if offered. Subsidies are also an incentive for not so smart people to try ideas that smart people are unwilling to fund, because the idea is just not that great. Let the families of New Brunswick have their say in how carbon tax revenues are spent. Then we will be subsidizing smart decisions!!!! 0002

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE INVEST LIKE A BUSINESS-OWNER Here’s what an emotional investor does: Checks the market constantly, worries about every uptick and downtick, rapidly realigns his or her portfolio at the first sign of a stock or market downturn, tends to jump into and out of the market chasing hot stocks and dumping down stocks. And here’s one other thing an emotional investor does: Severely limits his or her chances for long-term financial success. Rational investors know that the best approach is to take the emotion out of investing. Many of them are businessowners and replace emotional investing with a business-owner approach. They have found success incorporating these business-owner principles into their investment plans. Clear investment goals: Rational investors set goals and have the discipline to stick to them. Yes, they want to make money but they set their return objectives against clear short- and long-term goals.
Know when to delegate: Successful business-owners know they can’t do everything themselves so they hire capable people with the talent and ability to enhance their business. Similarly, rational investors delegate their investment decisions to professionals who have the talent and ability to help them achieve and sustain their financial goals. Be risk averse: Both rational businessowners and rational investors definitely want to create wealth but they also understand the need for wealth protection. That’s why their portfolios are carefully crafted and well-diversified to reduce risk and provide more stable returns over the long-term. Just the facts: Rational investors make investment decisions based on facts not on feelings. They do not get caught up in “the investment flavour of the moment” and are careful to keep their emotions out of investment choices. In the know: Rational business-owners keep a daily watch on investment news and consider its implications but like
rational investors, they also keep their focus on long-term trends not day-to-day fluctuations. Seize opportunity: Rational individuals, business-owners and investors alike, trust their intelligence. They actively seek money-making opportunities – especially in a volatile market - by hedging, shorting and using other investment strategies to pick up assets at bargain prices. If an unemotional business-owner approach to investing appeals to you – and it should because it’s often a better path to financial success – then talk to your professional advisor about the investment strategies that work best for you. 0036 Steve Downey PFP Consultant Investors Group

Be Pa�ent with Yourself
The grief process is a time to heal. Coming to terms with your loss and adjusting to a new life does not happen overnight. Grief usually takes more time than most of us expect. Every experience of grief is unique. Some people take longer than others to work through their emotions. Some experience certain emotions, while other people experience different ones. Also our particular emotions may differ in intensity. We are unique people and how we will experience the loss of a loved one will be unique to us.
HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS I’m sure many people in Hampton spent their Thanksgiving much like I did – enjoying a big meal in a comfortable home. We are fortunate to enjoy such things; some would say we are blessed. I have always struggled with that thinking because the implication is that those who don’t have these luxuries are not blessed; that somehow God favours us over those living in underdeveloped countries. I believe we do have many blessings; however, I believe that the affluence we enjoy is a result of nothing more than good fortune. We may work hard but there are many people living in Africa who work much harder than we do and are barely able to survive for lack of the basic necessities of life. Our wealth and comfortable lifestyle are, to a large extent, because we are lucky to have been born in an extremely prosperous part of the world. Many are not as lucky. Bono, from the music group U2, once said “Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.” But the sad fact is, although there are enough resources for everyone on our planet, they are not equally distributed
throughout the world. The African country of Swaziland is one of the poorest in the world. Most people only dream of a big meal in a comfortable home. The letters we receive from young people in Piggs Peak tell stories of going to school and going to bed with an empty stomach. But, perhaps surprisingly, they are also full of expressions of thanks. One student writes: “I just want to say thank you for all you have done. It takes someone with a special heart to love and care for someone she has never met, so this is an indication that you are kind and loving people.” The high schools that our Starfish students attend supply a meal at lunch. For some, this is the only meal of the day. More importantly, the education they receive gives a young girl or boy an opportunity to escape from a life of poverty; a life the uneducated are almost certain to experience. By paying for school fees, our Starfish sponsors are sharing the abundance we enjoy. In doing so, they are bestowing blessings on the recipients of their generosity. Lunga M, a student at
Student at PCHS with meal Fundukuwela High School, says “God blessed me with you to come to my school to offer me the opportunity of education”. For your generosity, our Starfish students say ‘siyabonga ka khulu!’ (thank you very much).

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG FALL FOLIAGE Ah, the season of sweaters and walks with your sweetie, kicking up leaves and enjoying a mulled cider. The air is cool and the woods fragrant with fallen leaves. It is a time when mother nature dons her most colourful of clothes, as she brings us into winter. Making images seems so much easier this time of the year. Heck you could just throw your camera in the air and get a great shot, what, with all the colour. But, the best images are planned. Plan to go a location where there are lots of deciduous trees, as they are the most colourful. Of course if you are fortunate enough you can travel to see these colours; places like Cape Breton, New England and the aspens of Colorado are famous for their fall foliage. If staying local, get up early and look for the fields shrouded in mist or river banks of fog. Not only does this add drama to your images but it also makes the colours more vibrant. After you have enjoyed
6
getting those great landscapes, it’s now time to get some detail shots. Park yourself under or in front of some red leaves with the sky behind; these back-lit images of the blue sky and the coloured leaves will be wonderful. Nature spreads her bounty everywhere and my favourite place to look is in the bottom of small creeks. The running water over the colourful leaves creates gorgeous impressionistic photos. Experiment with your shutter speed to achieve the effect you are looking for. Speaking of shutter speed, consider slowing your shutter speed a bit to capture motion as the trees or sunflowers sway in the gentle breezes. Now, go a step further and zoom in or out while you are taking that shot, more impressionistic art for your wall. Waterfalls are one of my favourite things to shoot. A tripod is a must here, as are both, my polarizing filter (to reduce the glare on the leaves and to enhance my

Did you Know? Snow Removal Contractors are required to keep up to date Log Books? Did you know that all insurance companies require snow removal contractors to log each time they plow? Having documentation will help determine if the contractor was negligent if they are named in a lawsuit along with the home or building owner. Log books should show what the conditions were like when they started and when they finished plowing.

Even if there is no contract in place it should be determined upfront who is responsible for dispatching the plow, either the building owner or the contractor themself.

ASK MARY I’M A LOST SOUL. HOW DO I START LIVING AGAIN? We may cling to the past because it is known to us. We all struggle with separation, their memory is still vivid to us and we miss them terribly. We notice every couple and they seem to intensify our sense of isolation. We no longer have the identity of, “husband” or “wife” and so we must have courage to redefine ourselves. We would do well to recognize the courage we have within us. History tells us that humans can find the courage to not only survive but to transform something horrible into something of value. I don’t know how someone remains strong after the death of a child but I do know that it’s possible to learn from our pain in such a way that we can become of value to others and to ourselves. Don’t focus on the pain by asking questions like, “Why did this happen to me?” Instead ask the question “Now that this has happened, how can I be of
value?” Move the questions away from the “me” focus. It’s hard to understand that this is all a normal part of grieving and it is important for those around you to understand that. When we have a significant loss the grieving process may well continue into the second or third year. Grief is a turning point in your life. You, and only you, can decide to grieve and heal or be a victim. This doesn’t mean that you aren’t entitled to mourn. All of us have the right to grieve because if grief is ignored it can block us from healing. Grief may feel like a mental illness; no sleep, anxiety, fear, loss of interest and thoughts of worthlessness can all add up to feeling like “a lost soul”. Facing our loss is part of travelling on this journey of grief and that’s how healing begins. Look into your past and see when you had other losses; job changes, illness, children moving out, divorce, financial difficulties or tragic accidents.
You survived them and acquired wisdom and maturity that often comes through hardship. This is true for you today, even though it is hard to imagine now, but moving through the grief process takes time and healing comes from within. Reaching out to others, family and friends is a sign of wanting to heal. Being kind to yourself is a great start but you also need to acknowledge that you are not alone. Allow others to help you as you adjust to this period of redefining who you are and what you want your future to look like. Take care of Mary Francis yourself.

LISTEN IN LISA FISCHER IS A STAR I have watched the music documentary “20 Feet From Stardom” four times now. I have a healthy appetite for music documentaries, but most of them leave me pretty underwhelmed. It needs to start with a great story with genuinely unique characters who seem to leap out of your screen. Some of the best bring you into their creative world and time warp you to the place it all happened making you understand their remarkable perspective around the subject matter, whatever it may be. I recently had a phone interview with one of the stars, and my favorite singer, Lisa Fischer from “20 feet From Stardom”. She really stood out to me as someone who was not only a mercurial talent and star, but also one of the most real people in an industry where many people seem to lose that essential sense of humanity and authenticity. Lisa exceeded all my expectations when we spoke and I am a fan for life. If you haven’t seen the movie “20 Feet
From Stardom” and you’re a music fan (of course you are if you read my columns) you need to check it out now on Netflix. The 2013 documentary won an Oscar in 2014! It was directed by Morgan Neville who also directed Keith Richards: Under the Influence, another favorite of mine which you can also watch on Netflix. This film’s inspiration came from Music executive Gil Friesen’s curiosity to know more about the lives of some of the industry’s more iconic background singers. My interest in this documentary comes from that same insatiable desire to really dig deep into that world of making records and all the intricate details happening in front and beyond the curtain. Other films that satisfied that musical urge for me recently included; The Wrecking Crew and Muscle Shoals. Some of the obvious stars in this film (20 feet…) are Darlene Love and Merry Clayton, but the blockbuster star to me that really shines is Lisa Fischer. Lisa’s raw, soulful
and joyous voice has graced the stages for The Rolling Stones, Sting, Tina Turner, Luther Vandross and NIN (Nine Inch Nails). Ms. Lisa Fischer and her band Grand Baton will be performing at the Imperial Theatre, Friday, November 11 at 8:00pm. I can guarantee you that this just may be the best show happening in the city all year! Shows like this coming to town are heaven sent so don’t miss it.

HAMPTON HISTORY HAMPTON HISTORY OCTOBER PART II 1. “On Wednesday evening, October 12, the members of the Hampton Cornet Band were very enjoyably entertained at the home of one of their members, Mr. Elisha E. Fowler, the event being a serenade given to Mr. and Mrs. Fowler by the band. After an hour spent in music the bandsmen retired to the dining room, where, in company with the bride and groom and several friends, a bountiful supper was enjoyed by all. As the party arose from the table President Dixon made a fitting address, and on behalf of the bandsmen presented Mr. and Mrs. Fowler with a set of silver knives and forks. Mr. Dixon spoke of the service Mr. Fowler had rendered the band and hoped that his new position in life would not hinder him from retaining his position as a bandsman. Mr. Fowler responded with a few choice remarks, after which three cheers were given for the bride and groom and the song, “He’s a Jolly Good Fellow,” was heartily sung. The company then retired to the parlor, where the rest of the evening was spent in vocal and instrumental music. At midnight ice cream and cake were served, after which the bandsmen left for their homes, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Fowler every happiness in their new home.” (KCR, Oct. 21, 1904) 2. “There was, however, a break in the monotony on Monday morning, when it became noised around, that Hampton Village had become the haunt of New Brunswick’s antlered monarch of the woods - the moose. Last week a resident of the parish below Lakeside saw the tracks of three moose across
his pastures, and on following them he got a glimpse of a bull, a cow, and a calf, travelling towards the northeast along the edge of the woods which fringe the ridges between Smithtown and Passekeag. On Sunday two more were seen crossing the Ossekeag Creek towards Dutch Point, and leisurely making their way to Hampton Village. That night the Rev. Mr. Schofield lost some of his vegetables from the Rectory garden, and on Monday morning everybody who possessed a rifle, or even a gun as innocent a character as a single barrel fowling piece, became inspired to emulate the deeds of Nimrod, “the mighty huner”. The state of excitement, however, did not assert itself until it was rumored that Ernest Bovaird, a young man known to the general public from his driving the tourist omnibus between the Village and Station, had, while out on [a] duck hunting cruise, killed a moose with one shot from his duck gun. This was speedily confirmed by other young men who were with him, and who following after the wounded animal, found him lying in the woods quite dead, about five or six hundred yards from the spot where he received the fatal shot, which had entirely gone through his body just back of the fore shoulder. He was a fine young moose, about three years old, and the carcass weighed seven hundred and twenty pounds. Bovaird said there were five other moose in the strip of woods back of the Agricultural grounds between the Station Road and the river. The Flewwelling Company’s mill was shut
down for the day, and this afforded an opportunity for the demonstration of the hunting spirit which followed. So far, however, the laurel crown rests upon the brow of Ernest Bovaird.” (KCR, Oct. 21, 1904) 3. “Through the efforts of Hon. A. S. White, the railway authorities have at last granted the oft-requested petition of the Municipal Council that the Court House be supplied with a water service from the pipes which bring the water from the reservoir at McManus’s Lake to the bank below the station. Mr. Davis, the officer in charge of the water department, came here a week or two ago and selected the point from which the supply will be taken, and a trench has been dug from the track up the bank to the western angle of the Court House building, in which the supply pipes will be laid. It is not likely that the service will be turned on this winter, but in the following spring the necessary plumbing will be completed, and the long hoped for improvement be permanently established.” (KCR, Oct. 21, 1904) CODE: KCR Kings County Record (published in Sussex.). 0031

RCL 50-YEAR MEDAL PRESENTED Lloyd Saulnier, Honourary President of Peninsula Branch 62, received his 50 year medal for continuous membership in the Royal Canadian Legion for over 50 years. The presentation made by Steve Gourdeau and Bill Wood at the Branch 70th Anniversary of receiving their Legion Charter. On October 4, 1946 a large number of Veterans of the two world wars assembled at the Clifton Hall. The meeting was called to order by Cyril Wetmore and listened to Dave Thompson, from New Brunswick Command in Saint John, speak on the aims, objects and working of the Canadian Legion. The name "Peninsula Branch" was selected as the Kingston Peninsula covered the area from Lands End to the head of Belleisle Bay, embraced part of Westfield and Springfield Parishes and the encompassing name would avoid the adoption of using a localized name. While the formal name is Peninsula Branch 62 the legion has been known for many years as the Moss Glen Legion. After 70 years Peninsula Br. 62 continues to provide service to our Veterans, their families and the community. 4270

KINGSTON LSD NEWS The information session on the Regional Multi-Purpose Facility held on October 11 was well attended. The vote will take place at the Parish hall on Tuesday, October 25 between 2:00 and 8:00pm. Only residents on and East of the Williams Road can vote. Remember, we must have at least 50 registered voters otherwise, our wishes are null and void! Don’t let others decide for us, show up and vote!! On the issue of the four corners at Kingston, members of your Advisory Committee wrote a letter to the Honourable Minister Bill Fraser, responsible for the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. We asked that he visit the area to see for himself that this road intersection does present special challenges and that a solution is required before something serious happens. We hope to receive feedback soon. Once again this year, we will host a community meeting on Monday, November 21 at the Legion in Moss Glenn. The format will be the same as last year where local emergency service providers will present residents with
KV CAMERA CLUB
information. Our MLA Bill Oliver and the Local Service District Manager Mr. Terry Keating will also be in attendance Interestingly, on August 19 members of your LSD Advisory Committee participated in a round table discussion with Premier Gallant. The question we asked ourselves was how do we promote economic development in a rural setting. As a result there were a number of issues raised around population demographics and how do we encourage young families to stay in the rural area. Suggestions were made as it relates to local governance and also about the fact that too many homes still do not have Internet or cell coverage. What do you think? We are starting to work on an agenda for the community meeting. If you have ideas, please feel free to let me know. We had a very good crowd last year and we received a lot of positive feedback. We hope to do even better this time around. Remember to vote on October 25 at the Parish Hall in Kingston - 2:00 to 8:00pm. Steve Gourdeau – LSD of Kingston. 0026

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Winston Churchill. Thanks to the many people who support this outreach with time, talents and treasures; we are especially grateful for the annual gift of freshly picked apples from the group of dieticians from NB hospitals and from the Erbs Cove Baptist church for their gift of $ 1,200 that they raised from a recent yard sale. We are in great need of a few able
bodied volunteers who would help on the third Thursday of every month by assisting our clients with their carts, many of our clients are suffering from ill health and cannot manage to push the carts up the ramp, some are simply frail because of their declining years and some are single parents whose attention is needed to care for young children. We would appreciate help from 8:30 until about 11:00am, when tables need to be folded and stored; as well, we need setup help on the day

before, Wednesday. There are clients in need of the following items; one fridge; one electric stove; one washer and one couch set. If you can help with any of these, please call Janice at 832-4340. For information: Janice 832-4340; David 644-8476; Louise 832-5303; Betty 832-7526. Our resources are such that we can only provide each family with a substantial supply of food once a month; we are open only on the third Thursday of every month between 8:30 and 11:00am (preparation is done the day before). Clients who are unable to come on the designated day will need to assign a friend or relative to pick up their order for them, bringing their medicare number and a note confirming the arrangement. The next preparation day will be on Wednesday, October 19 from 8:00 until 10:00am. Clients will be served on Thursday, October 20 from 8:30 until 11:00am. We ask that clients not smoke on Church property, if you need to, please do so in your vehicle The Canada Helps web site is being generously used to our benefit and we sincerely thank all those who are helping in this way; even small monthly donations enable us to better serve those in need, this system is easy to access and all donations will be recognised with a tax receipt in the new year. Search for “Hampton Food Basket Canada Helps” and the process is simple, (should you wish to stop the donations the process is easy and immediate). If the idea of a monthly donation via internet does not appeal to you, cheques can be sent to our treasurer: 39 Tilley Street, Unit 2, Hampton NB E5N 5B4. Our hearts will be gladdened, the poor will be overjoyed and I daresay that God, in his Heaven will recognise that something is right with His world! A good number of our clients need help just at Christmas, if clients do not need help in October or November, they can register by phoning Betty at 832-7526. “Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me”. 0029
UNFILTERED THE MARITIMES AT THEIR BEST In thinking of what to write about I wanted to choose something special, and as a proud Maritimer I thought ‘why not choose the best of the best from right here in our own backyard?’ Two of my absolute favorite wines are made in Nova Scotia and their best pairings come right from our very own Bay of Fundy. I had the honor last fall of visiting the Benjamin Bridge winery, located in a sheltered region within the Gaspereau Valley in Nova Scotia. They are producing some incredible wines that are 100% Nova Scotia grown and hand-crafted. They have been recognized not only nationally but internationally as well. After touring their vineyard and tasting their wines along with head winemaker Jean-Benoit Deslauriers I was very impressed. Their Nova 7 wine is a sell out every year. It is the #1 best selling wine in Nova Scotia, and is now available in every province in Canada (and other countries as well). At $20.49 per bottle it is worth every penny.
In the glass it has a beautiful salmon color, at 7% abv, it is slightly effervescent and off-dry. It is highly aromatic and very flavorful. Another great wine from them is their Benjamin Bridge NV (non-vintage). It is a sparkling wine, and while most people associate sparkling wines with special occasions, I like to drink them ‘just because’. They are refreshing and fun to drink, and pair easily with anything and everything. The Benjamin Bridge NV is the perfect go-to when you are in the mood for a true Champagne, but don’t want to pay the 60+ price tag. At $29.99 a bottle you are getting great quality at a very reasonable price. (The microclimate in Gaspereau Valley is strikingly similar to the Champagne region in France). It is made from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, L’Acadie, Vidal and Seyval and is blended using 13 different vintages. I decided to pair it with fresh Atlantic oysters. When consumed together the
fresh acidity of the wine is a perfect match for the salty minerality of the oysters. When purchasing seafood it is best to purchase from a local fish market, to ensure that you are getting the best quality, freshest oysters available. Shucking oysters is easier than you think and most local fish markets will be happy to show you how to do it. It is always fun to enjoy world class treasures from here in our own backyard. 0042

WELL RESTED QUIET YOUR MIND FOR A PEACEFUL SLEEP Relaxation techniques - If you are like most people, you occasionally (or perhaps frequently) have nights where your mind just won’t shut down. Your thoughts cycle through what you did that day, what you have to do tomorrow, what you said at a party two years ago, a fight you had with your sister, your finances, your grocery list and on and on. One of the most common sleep complaints is sleep onset insomnia; this problem is often caused by intrusive thoughts that prevent your mind and body from relaxing enough to let you fall asleep. Progressive Muscle Relaxation Concentration on your breathing and the feeling of your body helps to distract your mind from intrusive thoughts. Start by taking a couple of deep breaths in and out. First, tense the muscles in your toes and feet, hold for 3-4 then relax. Next tense the muscles in your lower legs, hold for 3-4 seconds then relax. Move up to your
upper legs, then your abdomen, your arms, your chest, your shoulders your neck, then your jaw and face. End by take two more deep breaths in and out. 4-7-8 Relaxation breathing - I have personally found this the most useful technique for falling asleep. Described by Dr. Andrew Weil, this simple breathing exercise can calm your body and mind to the point where you fall asleep before you know it. Start by closing your eyes and take a deep breath in through your norse or mouth for a count of four seconds. Hold your breath for a count of seven seconds. Breathe out through your nose or mouth for a count of eight seconds. Repeat five times. The action of holding a deep breath acts to lower your blood pressure and heart rate, tricking your body into thinking that you are relaxed. The act of counting, gives your mind something to distract it from those thoughts that have been keeping you from sleeping. You will be asleep before you know it. Guided meditation - Lastly, a voice recording of meditation with gentle,
relaxing music can help you to relax and lull you to sleep. Contact me or check out the internet and your local library for some of the most popular recordings. This can be very helpful for those of us who are not used to using relaxation practices in our everyday lives. The relaxation techniques are not just helpful for falling asleep but can be useful during the day to stop intrusive and stressful thoughts from increasing our anxiety and decreasing our productivity. Calm your mind and live in the moment to sleep better and have a more peaceful day. 0038

MUSINGS Selfies, Good or Bad? Let’s be clear right up front, I am NOT of the digital generation. I do own a cell phone . . . which stays turned off in my purse. I have never used it for taking photos, I have a digital camera for that. My plan costs me $10 per month and often months go by without it being used. If I’m not a dinosaur, I am at least a close cousin. It seems everywhere we go these days, people are spending more time interacting with their phones or other electronic devices than they do talking to the people they are with. Add to that, this obsession with taking photos of themselves doing everything from eating lunch to making pouty faces in front of various landmarks. Is this simply the new version of the graffiti artist spray-painting “Kilroy was here”, or is there something else going on? Are we raising a whole generation of narcissists? Certainly we all want to be liked and respected and even admired, but this focus on physical appearance and need for online validation concerns me (but remember I am a dinosaur). On the beautiful Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend we went to
King’s Landing for the first time in several years. Although there were lots of other visitors that day, the venue is large enough that there was no sense of crowding. As I observed others around me, so often instead of taking a photo of a building or a display or an item of historical interest, what was instead happening was someone standing in front of an item and taking a picture of themself. Certainly I understand doing this on occasion to have as a memory of the great day enjoyed with friends and family. But, there were those who seemed to spend little time actually seeing the venue and learning about what was like for our ancestors, preferring to take photo after photo of themselves . . . perhaps looking for that elusive “perfect” picture that will get them mega likes on the FB page? Social media display a highly edited version of life, a reality TV version instead of the real thing. People do not post unflattering photos of themselves. They record the positive and happy moments to share with the world, creating a world that is “perfect”. And then they forget that
everyone is doing the same and start to compare themselves to others and find themselves lacking. I am sure that for most selfies are fun and harmless. A new way to communicate. And goodness knows I could use the memory boost of having a collection of selfies to look back at! But I don’t expect I will be jumping on that bandwagon anytime soon. “If the future historians were to digitally unearth our generation, they would decipher the facial expressions on the "Selfie's" as the generation of people suffering from widespread constipation!” ~ Vishwanath S J 0001
