If you have a lick of sense you see the Internet as a cesspool of lies, innuendo, half-truths and scurrilous rumors. You also know that it can often be your best friend, like if you don't know the meaning of the word "scurrilous" you can find out in an instant on the Internet. So, because its inherent good equals the bad, it remains popular. And despite your repeated vows of never looking at it anymore, you still scroll through Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and so many more I don't even know their names.
Still, sometime you get hit in the face with how supremely dumb it all is. Like today, when the following message appeared in my Instagram feed, God knows how or why: "Whisper a wish to a butterfly and it will fly up to Heaven and make it come true."
If only one person tried that and it worked, it would end all organized religion. People would start tending butterfly gardens instead of going to church on Sundays. I'm not even going to try it, that's how dumb I think it is.
