Flames for Fame: The Shocking Cost of Going Viral

Trending News: Today's young generation is so lost in the glamour of social media that they no longer care about right or wrong, life or property. The craze of going "viral" has reached such an extent that the youth now consider their life as a part of a reel - that too without retakes.

Recently, a video has surfaced on social media, which has crossed all limits of this digital madness. In the video, a young man deliberately sets his jeans on fire, that too just to make a reel. Standing in front of the camera, he smiles, but in a few seconds that smile turns into a scream. The fire spreads rapidly, and the young man runs frantically, trying unsuccessfully to save himself.

This incident is not just a video, it is a mirror of that thinking in which going 'viral' has become more important than being 'victorious'. Today's youth believes that if there are no "likes" in life, then life is incomplete.

When stunt became a means of suicide

This video is not only horrifying but also shows the mirror to the society. It shows how people have forgotten the value of real life by hiding themselves behind a "username". What the young man did was not 'courage' but the peak of 'emotionlessness'.

When likes become the goal and life becomes the means

Imagine, when a person deliberately sets himself on fire, just so that he can get an online identity - what mentality does it point to? This is not just the fault of one person, it is also the result of our digital environment which is teaching the youth every day that becoming a 'trend' is victory.

No viral reel is bigger than life

As soon as this video went viral on social media, there was a flood of reactions. Someone wrote - "Life is not a reel that you can get back by saying cut", while someone said - "Today's youth is turning itself into digital ashes". These comments are not just anger, they are a cry of social pain.

Wisdom is the biggest stunt

It is not wrong to get fame on social media, but if that fame comes from the jaws of death, then it does not bring applause, but regret. Now there is a need to reverse this trend - where wisdom is the biggest reel, and life gets the most likes.

We are living in an era where it is fashionable to be a "content creator", but the question is are we becoming 'responsible creators'? The youth now have to understand that the game of likes can end in a moment, but the importance of life is above every like.
