Prior to social media our exposure to platitudes most commonly occured on highways (billboards), magazines, and TV. The amount of exposure to these senarios differed depending on our various daily activities.
Today, we have smart phones with endless social media apps. Now, we are exposed to these platitudes endlessly. Sometimes you might open an app and all you see are memes scrolling across the page. Don't get me wrong. Memes are a great way to share a short inspirational message, share a quick thought, or even get a few laughs. BUT memes should NOT be used to convert an extremely complicated issues into an extremely over simplified answer. No matter if the end result is right or wrong it is never in anyones intereste to just disregard ALL the facts, ALL the perspectives, and ALL the potential answers just because you make a snappy sounding and aesthetically pleasing meme. STOP using memes in this way and use them for what they are best for: positive, motivational, and funny messages to brighten up your day. I pledge to do my best to keep to this rule from now on...WILL YOU?
