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.

And they'll never win with people like Karen demonizing their sacrifice and work.

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.

It’s just very lazy to constantly blame everything on social media

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.

Don't really get it, is it another "smartphones are bad" one? I'd love to see you calling for help in the ocean with a book.
