Who does not like to show off? We do one way or another in certain part (or for some most part) of our life. The reason
for showing off?
1. We believe and love what we SEE.
2. We like to amuse ourselves by looking at or by others.
3. Showing off is how we like to draw attention, not because there are no other way there, but for the fact that it is
EASY TO DO.
Showing off is not always associated with clothings.
1. Those who are fools, show off with clothes.
2. Those who are smart or intelligent (or at least they think or someone told them), show off with words.
3. Those who are clever, play different roles (not roles in drama or something like that) with different people to show
off.
4. Those who are beautiful (facial and physical), show off with well, you name it......hahahhahaha.
5. Those who are stupid, show off by trying to immitate others or try to do what others like.....etc.
Life is like that. Unconsciously or consciouly we all show off. It is one of the greatest weaknesses humans have. That's
why wise man don't have time to think about others, for they know showing off is of no use. People like us, who are by
no chance WISE enough, try to define SHOW OFF by associating it with objects. But we forget the fact that showing off
can be found in ANYWHERE IN ANYTHING, whether that is BIOLOGICAL (Ahem!), OR MATERIAL.
You mentioned girls in school trying to show off. How pathetic is that. On one hand they show off to all guys, or
particual guy. It is as if "Look I am here for sale, buy me!" No offense to all the girls out there, but
that's how their ID feels (ID as in psychology: ID, EGO, SUPEREGO). Guys are not out of the picture either. They think
strength, big muscle, height, cool materials all are nice way to DRAW girls to them. Ironic, outside, they deny. Inside
they crave! hahhhahaha.
If you hate show off, then ask yourself this question. What is causing us to show off. You will find that even 3 or 4
generations back, people showed off little. Now we all do. What is causing this change? Is it materials or our lack of
self-understanding? Is it lack of knowledge or lack of self-judgement? Is it lack of knowing others or lack of
consciousness?
