I didn’t know what else to call it.  I’m not even quite sure I know how to write down what I want to communicate, but I guess there’s a fine line between self-promotion and being a pharisee.  Okay, so I guess back in the day, being a Pharisee was quite an honor.  I mean, you were the spiritual one.  Today, we kinda use it in a negative light – because we simply don’t know that culture.  We tend to use Pharisee as a fraud or a fake – well, at the very least someone that’s doing it more for show and himself than for God.  That’s how I’m using the term here.

Now, I’m all about self promotion – especially when you’re pushing your brand or business.  I get that.  Millions of people tweet to promote their hustle – whatever it is.

But then every now and then you just come across some tweets that is about self promotion but it just comes across as Pharisaical.  I mean it just comes across as self righteous and “look at me and what I’ve done.”  Now, it’s totally completely subjective.  I’m sure that someone might read some of my posts on this blog and might call me a Pharisee for my bold claims and the my self promotion.  I guess it goes both ways.  I think someone’s tweets like a Pharisee, and others might think that I post like one.

Twitter has allowed us to tweet like a Pharisee.  It has allowed us to be self-righteous.  It has allowed us to self-promote, but to take it a step farther and show off.  I guess some people just need the recognition.
