The Paparazzi v. “Our Better Angels”

1 min readOct 7, 2020

While this is my own definition, “Hubris” is the secular term for a domineering characteristic of one who makes judgements about a whole class of persons for which he/she has no understanding. This is done to establish a sense of personal superiority, either moral or intellectual.

I’m not certain exactly when this happened, but the paparazzi, once held in disdain, have now become the moral high-priests of this generation, and thus the media now fosters a deep-seated decay in the beliefs of generations, using seemingly moral pronouncements.

It is profoundly to be wished that this will be reversed, if not soon, then sometime in the near future, because all fads and trends are cyclical. We all pray that our “better angels” (Abe Lincoln — R) will soon prevail.
