There are plenty of philosophies out there when it comes to trying to get the best out of life. Some people go the full blown yoga and meditation route, searching for inner enlightenment. Others become disciples of hustle culture, and work themselves to the bone in pursuit of retiring by age 25. There’s even a fair few out there who go the full nihilism route, and do whatever they want because nothing really matters.

Despite the fact that many of us seek out these things as solutions to our existential angst, there’s not always that much proof that they work. In a lot of ways, they just act as a fleeting distraction from the inevitable. If that’s the case, it’s probably best to cool it on all the major life changes and focus on the small things that can bring us joy, such as memes. They may not be the answer, but they manage to pass the time.
