The introspective and over-analytical twentysomething cynic in us first begs the question: a virtual universal panacea turning one’s seemingly monotonous life into an exciting existence one should be utterly grateful for— all through experimental digital validation. Are we looking at yet another social media trend taking the world by storm all while rendering the statement 'stupidity is contagious'? Seemingly so, if we had to go by the Internet trolls and cynics. If that is the case, then even the most sardonic being can come up with reasons to be happy. Did not fall down the stairs today. Successfully eluded a crow suffering from the runs while running late to work. Avoided an upset stomach after that a stomach-churning-yet-delectable vada pav. Or better yet, steered away from any Candy Crush request! How is that for a happy moment in a day for the new-age self-doubting pessimist?
