Sometimes you just need an animal meme, and everything gets better.


Can animal memes singularly change your humor? Can just a silly image of a dog doing some silliness change your humor from sad directly into a smile that shows happiness? I actually believe it can. Memes, especially the ones that involve animals, can produce happiness more easily than any other thing. They make you laugh, smile, and even share a moment with other people by sending them to them. Whether they are hilarious or heartwarming, they work magic on our brains, making us able to change our humor into a more joyful one. So maybe the solution to every problem is just that: animal memes.

Of course I'm mostly joking with all these. But I do think that memes can actually be a form of induce happiness. They can work magically by making you laugh, or at least creating you a little smile. They, on their own, can change your mood and make you joyful, even after the most intense sadness.
