I was talking to a very very dear friend of mine whose dad passed away last year, we live quite far so we meet like once in a year or less, but bond is same. Sitting on his porch, we two alone, just sharing random recent experiences, out of nowhere my friend says to me - "Listen Bud, Go back home or atleast some place near to it, i dont want to live you entire life with feeling i live today, that I wish I could have spent more time with my dad". My friend, this guy whom i always though was made of metal and breaths fire and eats iron bars - basically a super tough guy, looked completely broke, as tears swelled into his eyes, he put arm on my shoulder and pointed towards the setting sun and again said - "Go back bud, Go back towards the real sun who shown you the light of this world". I had not words to say to him which could have lessened his grief, but next day, i went to office, spoke to my boss, and now i am going back to city which has branch of our office and very near to my home.
Ladies and Gents - Your comment struck me so hard, that even i am crying. I am thousands of mile away from my dad and I so want to see him right now, your friend is right, our Dads are our Sun. Also, I am sorry for his loss.

See each other for who we are, not who we pretend to be when the phone/camera is held up and people say "Smile!" At the concerts, at the shows, at the recitals, we sit around and hold up the cameras. We're not watching. We're not experiencing. We're living through these devices. We don't SEE the things going on around us. We don't SEE the world. We're looking at it through the pixels of the lens. It's a filtered and muted version of the beauty around us. LIVE...
Except for not living in the moment... You know you can do both and photos are a wonderful way to look back on things. We are always getting out the old photo albums and reminiscing at home.

I like this, for she is his Wonder Women... I feel this same way about my wife.
I think it means that the parents are, in fact, the ones being controlled by the child's wants and needs.
True! Photos of yourself or your family/friends and posting it at some "important" place is more important than looking at (and taking pictures of) the real attraction :-/ So sad!
I like how the man is angrily glaring down at the flood like "Not today water! Not today!"
Just trying to get back to work after all the meals, the family gatherings. the food prep, the friends visiting, the catching up with people you haven't seen in years, the hours in Synagogue everyday praying, all of the rituals, etc............It is really similar to the Thanksgiving/Christmas/ New Year season for non-Jews. Just so difficult to keep up a rhythm of work going.
LOL I have a friend whose kid is like this with absolutely everything... Uggg!
A family get together, a lonely man, a curious and caring kid. Cheap disposables everywhere
Two puppets fighting over a bucket of sand and rocks while the Merchants of Death profit.
Last me this one. Different ages and phases in his life. Started poor..... still poor.
Don't worry, you have a rainbow that will come out of the washing machine aswell ;)
When you would just need a little nudge, no one around.. then when you are rock bottom, and so fallen apart, dehumanized, unsalvageable, the mean to barely survive is tossed at you.
Israeli lives matter. Hope they make it to the bomb shelter in time.
This guy isn't so much satirical as just like hardcore #relateable comic
Yeah, not quite what I need on a cold, dark night in the middle of winter.

Some are interesting, but many I did not get at all. Either it is something about Jews specifically I do not know or the point is so obscure that it is hard to understand what the author wanted to say.
amazing work of art would really like to see more of that in the future
