Sometimes it seems like a simpler life would be more fulfilling and healthy because modern life can be depressing. Almost everyone today exchanges their time for money. Due to pressure from their employment, many are becoming depressed. Higher rates of depression, obesity from poor eating, and a sedentary lifestyle have all been linked to modern life. The pursuit of everlasting wealth is an obsession in modern society today. People don't have time for their families, friends, or to feel genuine affection for one another.

Taravat Niki is a freelance Iranian cartoonist who makes it very clear that her work explores and revolves around various issues that are dominant in our modern society, reminding us of important things that we tend to ignore when it comes to our everyday life.

    One guy sees her for her mind, and one guy sees her for her outward appearance like her hair. One values intelligence, the other beauty. The mind lasts longer than physical beauty, so the girl is playing the game to decide which guy to pick, and the guy who sees her for her mind is the better choice in my opinion.

    Grandpa doesn’t look too happy about his wheels. But I think it’s great the son is taking care of the dad now. And it’s hard for people to accept help or acknowledge limitations they are facing due to aging. So I understand his face.

    Could someone tell me more about what’s going on? She was selling flowers to kids to make money. But she can’t go into… school? religious place of worship? I think it’s school and due to poverty she has to work rather than have the chance to learn.

    Im just guessing, but this may have something to do with how the internet in Iran is heavily policed, so people use VPN's to get around government rules.

    Should've been a bulletproof vest instead. I'm 14. My greatest worries should be grades and cute girls, not if I'm going to be shot at school.
