Who Am I

BTS is a Korean pop band with Park Jimin as the lead vocalist and dancer. Ed Sheeran is an English singer -songwriter who is popular too for his songs like “Thinking out loud” and “Perfect”.

Are you a fanatic of some celebrity, singer, artist or group of popular people? Do you know about their personal life? Are you stalking them?

I am a fan too. I have admiration also for some artists, particularly music artists and Hollywood actors.

Most people are admiring their favorite artist or group, like for example the current trending Korean boyband BTS, to the extent that they would stalk them. Some teens and some millennials are even addicted to Korean pop culture these days. They would collect memorabilia, buy all their music albums and even would follow almost all their concert tours.

On the other hand, some people who admire celebrities know more about their life and the current updates. They would research all about their personal background from childhood up to how they became popular.

What could be the reason why we admire these celebrities and pop artists?

For musicians of course perhaps their music is pleasing to the ear or like radio friendly. Another thing is they are beautiful, handsome and talented artists. The same goes with movie and TV celebrities.

I for example, love metal and rock music so I tend to do research about how the band existed. For Hollywood actors, I will just check their biography and read current news about them. I am not really a fan of local actors and artists, you can hate me with that but I know whose local artist or celebrity to admire with. I even admire politicians but with a good reputation of course.

Bright kids about current trends but not in class

Kids these days seemed to be aware of almost trending on social media. Even a five years old kid can memorize a song from BTS or Blackpink. They can answer you quickly when you try to ask them for information about these groups. Unfortunately when you ask some kids about their online lessons they will just smile or scratch their heads. They can memorize all BTS member names but when asked about their lesson they are forgetful.

In the same manner some teens are also like these kids who know almost everything about their favorite K-POP other than their online lessons. They can answer you quickly if you ask them who Jimin is. How old is he? What are his favorites? Or even all about his personal life.

Know Thyself

Often we are also like this. We tend to know more about other people than knowing about ourselves. Who are you? Or who am I? Have you tried to ask yourself this question once?

How would you describe yourself? What are the most important things in your life? Do you love yourself?

These questions about yourself are sometimes hard to answer or explain. How have you known yourself these days?

Funny how it seems but sometimes we know more about other people than knowing ourselves. We are always updated on the current life events of a certain celebrity. We always know what our friends post on social media. We even know all about our neighbor’s mistress but forget to know what is happening with our partner. Or even what our kids have been up to lately. 

How have you been so far? Are you living your life as you wanted to be? Do you get enough sleep? Are you gaining more weight these days?

Some of these questions may have negative feedback from you. We might not notice that we are getting obese but we tend to notice our Facebook friend who looks overweight oh his recent post.

There is nothing wrong in knowing information about other people's lives. But knowing them to the extent that you don’t even know more about yourself is kind of a shame.

Know Thyself is an ancient Greek injunction. People seem to forget about self knowledge when they start to know and talk about other people. It is important that we know all about ourselves before we have to know others. I admit sometimes that I don’t know all about myself. I also have the habit of criticizing people but failed to criticize myself. But after that I realized my blunder and reflected.

So the next time you see a post from your friend on social media, ask yourself first before you think of something about it.

Whenever you see your neighbor going out wearing tight jeans but looks uncomfortable, just think of her as having a boosted self confidence. Shen might know more about herself than you know yourself.

Thanks for reading. Ciao!
