Most of us wish we had a little bit more free will. Fewer responsibilities, and more interesting things to do with our lives that give us a sense of satisfaction. The perfect existence would be filled with a much greater quantity of the things we want, with more of what we need taken care of.

Sucks to be us, though, because that’s not how it works! Daydreaming is only going to get us so far, and procrastination will take us nowhere. That’s almost part of the appeal. If these memes are duty bound to anything, it’s giving us all an acceptable level of entertainment for a few seconds to minutes. That is their one and only purpose, there is no slacking off for them. They may sometimes feel like a waste of the taste of freedom that we do have, but that doesn’t mean that they are. Well, some of the time.
