That’s the problem in this world, in every country and city
there are these huge billboards
like everywhere, like literally everywhere
and all these boards we use it for advertisements, for things like dippers, junk foods, fake beauty products and refreshments

and all of these billboards are telling us what to think; not how to think.

Instead, we should have messages and quotes that inspires and motivates people and put a smile or make us laugh for a minute in a bad day.
To give perspective and give hope to live one day,
to remind us what we are fighting for.

But what do we get?
we get money deals and advertisements.
I mean its not bad lifting your products but what about lifting arts?
I don’t see those. If making and spending and dealing money is the sole purpose of this society then, where is the soul of the society?
Is that all we are?
Money making machines?
Do we not have souls?
Do we not feel or understand beauty?

This is why I love social media. Rather of 'buy one get one free' ad we get memes.
Of course, not all of them are good and there are ads it seems
but I would rather look up to a meme instead of a big discount offer.
We say the internet and social medias are destroying our society, that it is the root of all evil and prefer outdoor life.

But often do we overlook the fact that we are destroying our society from so many other ways. That there will be a time the outdoor life will be cornier than life in social media.
We are on a verge of destroying our own soul and humanity and we just don’t know it yet. There is still time to save our soul not for the afterlife but for this life. If we lose ourselves in this world, how do we ever dream finding it in the next?

I want to see things that reminds us that we are not just some machines that we are human. And it is important to keep our hopes and dreams alive; and it is necessary to lift our imaginations and humors.
I would like to look at a large billboard and see a meme rather than a big discount offer.
I would like the society to try saving itself from extinction.
