You know what's funny about life these days? -
We all seem to have an opinion about things we know nothing about. We're like armchair quarterbacks, but for the entire universe. I mean, I'm guilty of it too. I watched one documentary on climate change, and suddenly I'm the next Al Gore. I'm out there on Twitter, schooling people on greenhouse gases, polar ice caps melting - like I didn't just learn all of that last night while eating a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos in my underwear.
And speaking of Twitter, what's up with our obsession with likes and retweets? We've got folks out here risking their lives for a tweet. You see them hanging off cliffs, taking selfies with bears - all for that sweet, sweet serotonin hit when the notifications roll in. I mean, I remember a time when the only notification I cared about was when my mom called me for dinner. Now, it's like, "Sorry mom, can't eat - gotta see if my tweet about avocados being overrated is going viral."
But you know what's the funniest thing about modern life? Our relationship with technology. We live in a world where we're more connected than ever, yet we're also more alone. I mean, we've got devices in our pockets that can access the sum of human knowledge, and we're using them to argue with strangers and look at pictures of cats.
And let's not even get started on politics. It's like a never-ending comedy show, except the jokes aren't funny and the comedians don't know when to get off the stage. We've got politicians acting like they're on reality TV, making decisions like they're playing a game of chess - except the pawns are real people, and the stakes are the future of our planet.
So yeah, life's a joke - but at least it's a joke we're all in on. And the punchline? Well, I guess we'll find out when we get there. But in the meantime, keep laughing - because sometimes, that's all you can do.
