The world is a bit of an effed up place. Every time I watch the news I walk away feeling like I need a glitter cocktail because everything is just so doom and gloom.
People on Twitter are sharing their dumbest ideas to save the world and I think they might be onto something.
When I say onto something, I really mean they’re speaking to my frustrated, petty soul.
While these ideas are great they are definitely dumb. And privileged.
Implementing fines against slow walkers or a universal nap time is not going to make the world a better place. They’ll definitely improve our personal lives, but we’re just a microscopic part of the population. There are a lot more people around the globe with far bigger issues that need fixing first. You know, like world peace and poverty.
Of course, it’s impossible to wake up one day and just rid the world of war and give riches to the poor. If it were that easy it would have happened long ago. That doesn’t mean we can’t still work towards achieving those things.
Sometimes, the smallest gestures speak the loudest: feeding the homeless, for example, won’t rid the world of all homelessness but it will brighten the day of some people. Which is better than nothing.
It’s also better than sitting in a leather armchair in our parents house tweeting about how our privileged lives can be improved.
Plus, who’s to say we can’t have self-cleaning butts and world peace?
