Thoughtful by sc stephens5/29/2023 ![]() Too fast, too furious-and way too hot to handle. The first in an emotion-fueled, New Adult series from the #1 bestselling author of the Thoughtless novels. Christina Lauren, "New York Times" bestselling author on Untamed "Addicting and heart pounding-you won't be able to put it down until you've devoured every word." ![]() But when it becomes apparent that Teren’s condition is much more serious than he first lets on, and that being in a relationship with him requires more sacrifices than most would be willing to make, will Emma stay?

But that's different than, say, posting something on Twitter with the intention of trying to impress people and gain social status for your moral qualities. In fact, it's often good to be seen doing good things. ![]() What they mean is, "what’s wrong with sending the signal that I’m virtuous?" And there may be nothing at all wrong with this. They say, “what could possibly be wrong with doing something good and being seen doing it?” They're using the Weak version. Individual acts of grandstanding are typically self-promoting, and so grandstanding can reveal a narcissistic or egoistic self-absorption. Many of us can likely recognize that we have engaged in grandstanding at one time or another. But this ambiguity allows people to defend the morality of virtue signaling by focusing on cases where someone simply does something good in public.

There’s a scene early on in American Gods, the best-selling 2001 fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman, where someone accuses a man of being a “hustler.” “But that is the least of what I am,” the man replies. ![]() |
