Far too many Americans would find this disgusting instead of essential to our culture. What poison has soaked in to the bones of many.

I looked for the good. The meme is the good. I also looked for the bad - and commented. To recognize the good without the bad is to create a false image of reality that will inevitably come crashing down; to recognize the bad without the good is also a false image, but a miserable one, and not one that will necessarily come crashing down.
I express disappointment because I believe we can be better. I express disappointment because I see a value worth loving in the meme. I express disappointment because I recognize the great capacity for good that is here. I express disappointment because I still have hope, and will continue to have hope.
I harbor no illusions about there being toxicity on the internet and beyond. You can acknowledge its existence without letting it taint your daily life.
The human brain is a sponge, that soaks in every experience and interaction one has. I’m encouraging you to allow it to have these positive moments and hope without clouding them with disappointment for what could be.
