Deep down, many of us crave order in our lives. Something that's reliable, that we can return to when we're feeling down, or out of sorts. Something that we know is still going to be there for us, no matter what.
Unfortunately, this isn't always a privilege that we are allowed. The world and its events are forever chaotic, and that trickles down into our personal lives, too. We turn to the internet for an outlet, but of course, this is probably one of chaotic places of all. We are never going to know what is coming next on here, even if we can take an educated guess.
Memes act as a kind of remedy to all this. It might be a bit like putting a Band-Aid on a leg amputation, but at least it's one of those novelty ones with cartoon characters on. These soothing blends of text and images can make us forget things for a little while. It's not something that we should take for granted.
