When it comes to our basic needs, we are all pretty much in agreement about things like clean water, food, and shelter (or we are supposed to be). In a just world, we would also count wholesomeness as something that is vital to our quality of life, if not necessary for survival. It is truly amazing what one kind gesture or welcome sight can do to lift the spirits of the average person, and we would do well to remember that as we go about our business every day.

Luckily, there is a whole genre of content on the internet dedicated to reminding us of exactly that. Wholesome memes can cover all manner of topics and formats, with the uniting similarity being that they are designed to make us smile and think about the niceness that exists out there, if we care to take a look. The memes make that easy for us.
