Re: Tumblr memes that you actually really love?

That one where there's a gifset of six gifs in two columns, featuring (usually, although there's variations) three different characters, one for each row, with the text:


The loneliest people are the kindest

The saddest people smile the brightest

The most damaged people are the wisest

All because they do not want to see anyone else suffer the way they do.


I just think that a lot of the time, the characters (and scene choices for the gifs) are very effective and thoughtful.

I'm sorry, but I dislike that one so much. None of it is necessarily true, and I hate it when feelgood inspirational stuff tries to blow smoke up my ass.

I don't think the quote was ever intended to be necessarily true, just artistic hyperbole. Like when people use the word "literally" to describe something figuratively. It actually means "loneliness can breed kindness, etc" but that's not as evocative.

But you can see that it can be true when you're presented with actual specific examples of actual characters. Like, the meme improves upon the quote by making it a case-by-case basis rather than a blanket claim. Of course, sometimes people pick characters that don't really fit at all, in which case it doesn't work.
