#Selfie Generation

I came across this post saying, taking selfies means that you are a narcissist.

Narcissism: the pursuit of gratification from vanity, or egotistic admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes, that derive from arrogant pride. 
 
This is absolutely outrageous. 

Taking a selfie, doesn't make you a less person than you already are.
Taking a selfie, doesn't mean you are egotistic and vain.
Taking a selfie is capturing all those beautiful moments. (With your face at an arms length)
It won't make you a different person, not a better person, not a worse one.
Do not generalize our generation, because we chose to be unique.
True, the funeral selfies are a bit much, but yeah...

Anyways, here are some selfie's I have found...

(1887, Vincent van Gogh pained a picture of himself wearing a straw hat)

 

(1914, yes this was Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia the daughter of Nicholas II)

(1839, by photography pioneer, Robert Cornelius)

(This one is from Gunner Thomas Charles Richmond Baker in 1917, he died a year after in Belgium.)

Some selfies, we're taken to commemorate men who joined the war. Just in case, they don't make it back, at least their families would have something to remember them by.
