Many youngsters are taking the social media route to prove their worth. Some are sharing book summaries, while others have become philosophers.
Many others are trying to show how miserable their life is. They are working hard against all odds.
It reminds me of the Epictetus quote from Enchiridion. It is opposite to that is practiced these days.
Never call yourself a philosopher, nor talk a great deal among the unlearned about theorems, but act comformably to them. Thus, at an entertainment, don’t talk how persons ought to eat, but eat as you ought.
For sheep don’t throw up the grass to show the shepherds how much they have eaten; but, inwardly digesting their food, they outwardly produce wool and milk. Thus, therefore, do you likewise not show theorems to the unlearned, but the actions produced by them after they have been digested.
Epictetus, Enchiridion
