Humor is a gateway to the soul. Whereas not everyone seems to be humorous deep down, there are moments in everybody’s life that benefit fun, a chuckle, a giggle, or a bona fide guffaw. It is these instances in our lives that present the best truths on the planet, and when you’re fortunate, maybe the which means of life can be revealed. Or ought to I say, the ‘meme-ing’ of life?
Talking from expertise, I’ve discovered that probably the most profound relational moments of human existence might be discovered inside relatable memes.
Hiding in plain sight just like the fortunate numbers of a fortune cookie’s fortune, memes disclose probably the most intimately relatable moments for humanity. These common experiences not solely tie us collectively, however they will bond individuals—even complete strangers—after giving us a communal anecdote to face on. Stubbing your pinky toe on the espresso desk is a universally visceral expertise in the identical approach that we have all stained a plastic Tupperware with marinara sauce. It might appear trivial to tie these small moments collectively, however maybe there is a deeper which means and a way of communal humanity in each meme that can construct bridges of similarity between individuals of all walks of life, lessons, races, and throughout nation borders.
Like Kendal Jenner ending a violent riot with the likes of a shared Pepsi with the armed guards, maybe a shared meme can lengthen a hand of friendship and relatability all through the entire world. Perhaps, simply perhaps.
