With the nonstop pace of modern life and all its trappings, it can feel like apathy is the easiest emotion to slip into. The world throws countless events at us every day, and a great deal of them are negative. It is far too easy to wonder whether anything we do can truly matter. Memes won’t rally us to action (most of the time), but they do offer something valuable: they help us feel a little something. Whether they make us laugh, irritate us, or spark a moment of reflection, their ridiculous humor can lift us out of our slump, if only for a few short minutes. However, that only happens if we’re open to it, which can sometimes be easier said than done. Seeing as you find yourself here, we’re guessing you are. So go ahead, take a scroll and see what you think of it.
