Seeking attention versus giving attention: isn't this an interesting topic, especially nowadays? Also in the past people wished to be known and appreciated, and they aimed at achieving such goal through personal skills and effort. In modern times, though, technology offers numberless ways to seek and find attention easily. The number of "followers" has become an extremely important point of interest for many because - they believe - it indicates how popular they are. Being popular shows that they are valued, admired, even idolized. As a consequence, no means is deemed unsuitable, if one's main goal is to get as much attention as possible. On the other hand, this extreme need to be noticed can make anyone careless towards others. The two situations are irreconcilable. Why? Because seeking constant attention is a sign of self-centeredness, while giving it indicates care and consideration for one's fellow human beings.
