49 Honest Illustrations About Today’s Society By Brecht Vandenbroucke

A vicious circle!

The Hunger Game

sad but true....

Sadly, this is accurate.

We choose to see pretty things. That's why we have pretty cat and dog races for pets and hardly anything else. Strong statement.

Actually they probably would have asked the poor guy to - move on, you're ruining our scene!

reality vs. deceptive pictures

Both painters are equally right in what they depict.

I've learned since social media became mainstream, that people pretend well. I know many people who base their self worth on the number of likes they get, who pretend to have the perfect marriage, the perfect children, and the perfect life, when the reality is far from that. And people see those posts and aspire to have it, but they don't realize it doesn't exist! I read an article that said the people who post declarative statements of love for their partners on social media, are THE MOST insecure in their relationships. If people put more energy into their relationships as they do convincing others their lives are perfect, perhaps they'd be a lot happier in those relationships. Just something I've noticed....take it with a grain of salt.

Well, what else does matter then? I think this is overly technology critical. Not all people will be scientists or philosophers, authors or politicans, who will have an idealistic inheritance. If social media ist fun for you, why not get into it, as long as you do not get lost in it? After all, what matters is that you have done more good than harm at the point you are buried!

I've tried to take a step back from social media. It's part of my job so I can't cut it off completely, but since I have given it a smaller role in my personal life, I find m much happier. Spending time with the real people in your life you see that life is Beautiful when experienced in real time and not through an Instagram filter, though, admittedly, I do find instagram fun at times!

Cemeteries and graveyards are a waste of space, anyways. Also cost a heap for quite a heap of nonsensity.

Kids suffer sooo much in silence

I don't consider myself a cruel person who laughs at domestic abuse, but this one just kind of made me snort. I think it's overly-clichéd and the silhouettes in the window look less like a legitimate fight and more like some kind of odd interpretive dance.

It's almost like we live in a world now, where if it's not documented on social media, it didn't happen. 20 years ago no one felt the need to advertise to the world they were at a concert, a restaurant, a movie, etc. Now its a compulsion.

one who is blind is able to enjoy the concert by listening and feeling the good vibrations of sound. He may not be able to see with his eyes but he can see the point of the concert better than those that have all their senses, or so it seems considering the only way these people are willing to watch a concert is through their phones. Perhaps they are more blind than the blind for taking their sight for granted like that.

The blind guy at the side, in the moment, enjoying it.

Pics or didn't happen...

I just avoid all those people, and shop online! Where's my introverts at!?

Been there, done that. And the stupid looks you get when you take several storeys by foot, to arrive at the same time with the people who glanced at you through the closing elevator doors: priceless. I actually have been asked whether I am "afraid" of elevators and escalators after walking a single stair instead of joining the crowded elevator.

I hate escalators. I like to walk up stairs, but when there's no stairs there's an escalator and people will just stand there and some will block you from getting by. If you can't use the stairs then use the elevator.

I wish this one mall I go to has stairs. An escalator ride is a terror ride.

I see this one as one person taking the hard route, whilst the rest try and get up taking the easier but crowded route.

Exactly! Im agree with this one.

Even more appropriate after this weekend

This is how our demacrocy works haha. Simple people don't understand how difficult politics are so politician abuse that by giving people simple questions and answers they can comprehend while the question itself is already wrong lol.

Did anyone see the father with his kid on a leash?

The use of social media as a politicaL platform is unhealthy. The nature of social media does not allow for reflective thought and carefully considered responses or statements. Everyone needs to be first with a story or first to strike controversy without caring whether they can back it up with truth. I have seen some very intelligent people fall prey to this.

Well yeah; Batman shops there!

You are what you do, not what you tag yourself.

Here's a tip: Don't random internet people's words get to you on a personal level.

Resist defining yourself by the standards of the digital realm!

Those who take the names people call them on social media painfully wear them on their bodies. If we could see them we would see why they are in pain.

Wow. Country fueds split people up. Love the visualization.

People who go online are making themselves vulnerable. There is no safety net to fall on if you make one false move. You just fall and there is no one to save you because you can only walk alone. When your offline you don't have to worry about the dangers of online dangers and you can go outside, enjoy the day with your family.

One more with which I object...you can get lost in anything, online or offline. There is more than walking on the edge between being online and offline!

This is so true
