The moment you share something like that on social media, your own private moment ceases to belong to you; your mind has been refocused to the anticipation of positive recognition. What is sadder still is that you were willing to do so in order see how many likes or retweets you could get. Maybe its not sad, its just different. Maybe I've got it wrong, but its like giving a chunk of yourself to the unknowable public just to maintain popularity. Maybe its not an altogether bad thing, but it definitely displays how dominant the ego is within our society.
