Pictures can change how you view the world. Life is all about perspective (my therapist tells me). If you’re a glass-half-empty kind of person, remember that some people don’t even have clean drinking water. That’s right. Sadly, you feel even worse now. That’s what changing your worldview can do.
It’s not, however, all doom and gloom. The internet was made for these random facts that actually change your mind about history, words, and existence in general. We’re all on a tiny little speck of dust floating in the universe, and it’s important to remember that not everything is all good or all bad. What’s more, that fact doesn’t mean we can’t have fun looking at cool stuff on the internet.
So, break out that peace pipe and take a gander at these mind-altering photos.
