Memes are basically thoughts or ideas portrayed on different platforms.
Today , more than 90% of us are social media addicts and spend about 1/3rd of our day staring at the screens of WhatsApp , Facebook , Twitter , Instagram or are busy investigating about other related issues.
One of the major thing that our newsfeed of the social sites today is that they are filled with endless number of memes.
Some show physically challenged people saying tag your friends who are this way while some are the quotes you can find relatable. Some actors and actresses are being made fun of while some underprivileged children are being more demoralised.
Creating memes is definitely a great job but hurting someone's sentiment unintentionally isn't.
A few days back there was this Kamlesh video going viral on the net which portrayed a 20 year old guy who was addicted to drugs.
Instead of addressing the drug issue to the people watching that video , there came up various memes on the dialogues of that child. The motive of the ad was something else but it resulted into something which wasn't expected.
Instead of enlightening the effect of drugs on youth and trying to focus on taking prevention measures for it for the children today are the future of tomorrow , the contents of the video was misused.
Not only this but also people with low morality may underestimate themselves even more after watching funny memes on something they exactly are which is in turn being made fun of.
Sometimes , a source of fun for one may become a source of fear for the other.
The creativity of the meme editors isn't bad or to be questioned. Their talent is truly respectable but creating contents that inspires one , makes them relieve their memories , make them believe in themselves and builds in a spark to do something is what is highly recommendable.
Each and every meme that helps the world grow is what is required in today's time instead of the memes making fun of people and their dialogues.
No doubt there should be a bit of fun. But that fun can be added by doing it some other way instead of experimenting the ads created to spread awareness.
Funny memes are ways appreciated as long as they don't hit the person straight in his heart.
Today , memes are being created on every short daily life incidents be it that of cricketers or that of filmstars or any famous personality. Be it that of politicians or that of professionals. Be it regarding movies or studies.
The people who actually deserve respect are being trolled in the society which will in no way help the society the to grow.
Each one of us as individuals can stop promoting memes that may act to be a weapon of fear for other.
We must spread awareness regarding the issue through interesting fact instead of laughing on it.
Afterall , it isn't someone else but our own society getting impacted by it.
