9. Some people are too rich to find the poor ones

Shocking Pictures Illustrate The Sad Reality Of Everyday Life

A lot of us grew up thinking restaurants were places to order food and dine with loved ones. Didnโ€™t you? But, today going to restaurants is all about clicking the perfect picture of the food with and without flash to flaunt it on Instagram followed by selfies with ice-creams or ambiance or light work and everything that seems attractive there. No time for chit chats, laughter sessions with friends?

12. Man sleeping in an hourglass and spending his life earning money

Shocking Pictures Illustrate The Sad Reality Of Everyday Life

This interesting piece of art by John Holcroft, a well-known British illustrator reflects a brilliant satire on modern day life. A man sleeping inside an hourglass, at the bottom is falling money.

Shocking Pictures Illustrate The Sad Reality Of Everyday Life

Social comparison is the cause of anger, frustrations, jealousy, and arguments. Why canโ€™t we all be happy with what God gave us? The sad reality is we always desire what we donโ€™t or canโ€™t have. Sometimes we donโ€™t even know what do we exactly want.

15. Mother baking cookies for kids stuck to their phones

Shocking Pictures Illustrate The Sad Reality Of Everyday Life

This is the cruel reality of our world! The kids immersed in the smartphone world are not smart enough to understand that their hard-working mom needs help baking cookies. Thatโ€™s how our future is behaving.

16. The life of a gadget is becoming more important than our own

life of gadgets

This man died cause he wanted to charge his phone! He unplugged the life support system. What is the value of life in this digital world? As a society, we need to be more careful of our Priorities!!!

17. Man crucified by social media

Shocking Pictures Illustrate The Sad Reality Of Everyday Life

Well, this oneโ€™s my favorite! We use Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter and keep informing the world about how we are living. We are always connected to the world virtually and digitally. The harsh truth is we are hardly enjoying the moment. We are not living in the real world! Are we?

18. Itโ€™s still a manโ€™s world, sweetie.

sad

As you can see the lady in the image canโ€™t shoot the basketball through the hoop as it is placed at a much higher position. But, the man can easily play as the hoop is within a reachable limit. Itโ€™s a male-dominated society. Sad but true! Women have to put twice the effort to reap the same benefits as men. Gender discrimination is a burning problem.

19. A man overdosed on likes

20 Shocking Pictures Illustrate The Sad Reality Of Everyday Life

This is hard-hitting! Earlier people use to die due to drug overdose. And today people are addicted to likes, shares, and followers, which in turn becomes an addiction and causes death. These people are called likecoholics and they smell like desperation.

20. A malnourished child in front of McDonalds

sad

This pic illustrates two sides of the world. On one hand, there are people who are consuming fast food instead of fresh fruits and vegetables and contributing to the obesity pandemic. On the other hand, there are people who are malnourished and underweight due to lack of enough food to eat or unable to eat the right things or being unable to use the food that one does eat.

21. A man putting the world in a chipper to generate more money

sad

A huge chunk of the forest is leveled every year due to overpopulation and meet the greedy needs of humans. Yet, people want more money putting the world in the chipper.

22. Having mobile phone tanlines on the beach

sad

For me, there is nothing better than sitting near the ocean, listening to the waves roll in. But, kids today spend their entire time looking at smartphones neglecting the cosmic sound of sea waves and the beautiful ambiance. And the result is the mobile phone tanlines accurately depicting the cell phone generation. Addictive behavior!

23. Life is always easy for the rich

sad

One child climbs up the stairs having more money, while the other one struggles due to a lack of it. Life is always easy for the rich. Isnโ€™t it? It is the poor who always suffer.

24. A man having roots in the place where he is playing video games

sad

Gaming disorder is rising by leaps and bounds in todayโ€™s youth. Gaming takes precedence over other interests and daily activities. You can imagine how completely nuts modern life has become.

25. Most people taking the complicated path because everyone else is following it

sad

Why not hard work, in the beginning, and achieve your goal faster? Sadly, people are blindly following everyone else and ending up in misery.

26. A man has substituted his brain with a smartphone

sad

People are allowing smartphones to do the thinking for them. They are used to getting quick solutions from this devices that they rarely engage in analytical thinking. However, people who are more knowledgeable are less likely to require online information search when confronted with a problem in everyday life.

27. A rat race

sad

I think this is self-explanatory. People are engaging in the competitive struggle for wealth or power and entering into the darkness of stress, anxiety, and depression. The question reigns โ€“ when will people stop running and start living?

28. The hunger for more technology

sad

This cool illustration questions our obsessive relationship with technology and social media. People are eager for easy solutions to every problem. The current generation craves more and more internet and is living in the virtual world, being indifferent to reality.

29. Humans have become zombies by staring at their phone all day

sad

A perfect illustration of modern salves. In the last decade, humans have become zombies to technology. Smartphones have become our masters telling us what to do. We behave like we are controlled by the remote 24/7.

30. Many animals killed to satisfy the hunger of humans

sad

We are all consumer-driven individuals and are never satisfied with what we have. We want more food even if it needs to kill animals that are important to balance the nature and ecosystem. Thousands of animals are dying every second in slaughterhouses across the globe. If more people can adopt a vegan diet we can save a lot of animals. Sadly, thatโ€™s not happening!

31. The scary prospect of Monday

sad

Dreaded Mondays make our life hell. Even those who like their jobs experience Monday blues. It can be due to poor time management, heavy work pressure, poor work-life balance, unmet goals, and pending old work, etc. Should we escape before Monday strikes again?

32. News channels these days not showing the truth to the public

sad

Some giant companies are controlling mainstream media and they telecast the shit that they want us to see and believe. Journalists and politicians are trapped in a web of lies that mislead the public. We never get to know the truth!

33. Screen time dominates mealtime at home

sad

Eating meals or snacks while watching TV has shifted to checking smartphones while eating meals. There is no interaction with the family member, which is damaging the relationship with the romantic partner, parents, and hurting the bond with the loved ones.

34. Helping people for social media

sad

This is how people help the poor and needy nowadays. The aim is to grab more likes and shares on social media and not to serve those dying and destitute. Charity isnโ€™t something to show off about!

35. Rich exploit the poor

sad

While the poor are trying to survive the rich are stealing what the poor have instead of helping them in their endeavors.

36. Talk with no brain

sad

This illustration made me laugh out loud! People who donโ€™t think, talk more and tongue gets buff (not literally). A healthy mind thinks before speaking and never speaks ill of others.

37. Priceless brain

sad

This explains how people are paying for expensive brands without thinking to maintain a status quo. His brain is priceless because people donโ€™t want to invest in knowledge.

38. Bullying

sad

Some kids who bully come from families that demonstrate aggressive and unkind interactions. So, kids tend to treat others the same way. Kids who are often taunted by their parents learn that bullying can translate into control over children they see as weak. They fail to learn that it is not OK to pick on kids who are different because of size, looks, race, or religion.

39. Toxic parenting

sad

Parents cut off their childโ€™s wings and expect him to spread his wings and fly. Insane! When children are suppressed they grow up without realizing their potential.

40. Broken family

sad

Marriage today is as easy as installing and uninstalling a smartphone app. People get together with a weak commitment, make babies, and divorce when things go against their expectations. Unfortunately, kids suffer most in this family drama!

41. The role of the internet in our life.

sad

People have developed an obsessive relationship with the internet that they feel they can live without water in a desert but not without the internet. Itโ€™s far more difficult to pin down a quantifiable, negative effect of Internet use.
