“Reported hijab attack on 11-year-old girl ‘did not happen,’ Toronto police say. Police previously said they were treating case as a possible hate crime.” (CBC News)

This news story (January 15/18) typifies modern trends. Likely it’s a reflection of inordinate human desire for attention, in male and female, young and old alike. A condition, when pronounced, some psychologist’s describe it as NPD, Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

We may ask; what motivates this wrong desire for media attention? Certainly a degree of human pride is normal, even healthy, but when pride, such as the desire for fame, becomes ‘inordinate’ there will inevitably be sad consequences! Many such examples are recorded as a warning to us all in the holy Bible, unfortunately those lessons are largely being ignored today.
