The gods' patience

For centuries, the gods accepted humanity’s non-stop feed of foolishness, allowing their growing addiction to likes, shares, and the all too frequent fish-lip selfie. But there’s only so much a god can take. One day, after yet another viral trend—this time involving humans pretending to be squirrels and storing food in their cheeks—their patience snapped.

A fantastic allegory (metapthor?) on where we’ve arrived as a civilization. Highly encourage giving it a read.

We don't share or write for the likes or follows. Or at least we shouldn't. It's to think, it's to create, to connect.
