We have probably always observed ourselves as a human race but with our ever expanding ability to gather and record information we appear to be observing ourselves now more than ever before. Reality TV is one of the ways in which we do this.
When we observe others we are inevitably reflecting upon our own choices as well. I wonder, if we are continuously approving our own choices by observing others do we ever really nurture love of our selves? Although, indirectly this may be the aim of the exercise, perhaps we are missing the point.
Arguably the increase in ways to observe others gives us a greater capacity than ever before to accept others and love ourselves, but this does not seem to be the case.
If, rather than revelling in judging people for not being like ourselves we used this time to open our minds to others and try to empathise more with others surely the world would be a better place.
