A Selfiehood Soliloquy
"To be, or not to be? That is the question.”
Hamlet, Act Three, Scene One
“Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The memes and emoticons of social media
Or to take arms against a sea of avatars
And by opposing end retweets. To quit the clicks – to post no more selfies,
No more views; and by a final post we end our sends
The heart-ache and the thousand clicks and comments
That selfiehood is heir to. Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be a favorite. To pull the plug, no longer LinkedIn;
To never snapchat, perchance to dream -ay there’s the rub.
For in that unconnected sleep mode what profile may come
When we have signed off from sharing on social media
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of saying so long to selfiehood.”
