Good Morning Messages on WhatsApp: The Digital Plague We Must Eradicate as a Society

 Alright, gather around, folks. It’s time we had the talk. No, not the birds and the bees—that’s awkward enough without me involved. I’m talking about the Good Morning Crisis of the 21st Century. Every day, thousands of innocent WhatsApp users are bombarded with a deluge of sunrises, flowers, and motivational quotes that reek of stock photo energy. It’s a problem we need to address… yesterday.

"Good Morning": The Most Pointless Two Words Ever Invented

Let’s just break it down. The phrase "Good morning" is essentially a verbal check engine light. It’s there, it’s polite, but does it actually serve a purpose? No. We’ve all collectively decided to keep using it out of habit, like hanging onto your uncle’s old VHS collection even though you don’t even own a VHS player anymore.

And on WhatsApp? Oh boy. It’s like "Good Morning" has been put on steroids, handed a megaphone, and unleashed into every family group chat. And let’s be real: do we actually feel better after receiving them? No! We feel guilty if we don’t reply and annoyed if we do.

WhatsApp "Good Mornings" Are the Cockroaches of Messaging

They’re relentless. They come in waves. No one asked for them, yet they appear—sometimes accompanied by GIFs of cartoon sunflowers doing an unsettling shimmy. And why? So someone can feel like they’ve contributed to your day?

But here’s the kicker: you know they didn’t even make that message. It’s a forwarded, copy-pasted monstrosity that’s been circulating since 2012. Somewhere, there’s a WhatsApp server overloaded with these messages like an overstuffed junk drawer.

The Real Victims Here? Our Phones

I’m convinced half the world’s "low storage" notifications are caused by those 3MB "Good Morning" images clogging our gallery. Have you tried scrolling through your photos and accidentally stumbled on a golden sunrise with the words "A smile is the best makeup you can wear" plastered across it in Comic Sans? It’s horrifying. My phone deserves better than this abuse.

If It’s Morning, I Already Know It

The thing about mornings is… they’re universal. We all experience them (unless you’re a vampire, in which case, congrats on skipping this nonsense). Sending me a "Good Morning" message is like texting someone "It’s oxygen o’clock." Yeah, we get it. Time exists. Move on.

What’s worse, most of the people sending these messages are retired relatives who don’t even wake up early anymore! You’re sipping tea at 11 AM, Deepak Uncle, don’t lie to me about your morning positivity.

Let’s Talk About Those Motivational Quotes

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life." Thanks, WhatsApp aunties, for reminding me I’ve been failing spectacularly every day until now. Nothing like a cheerful guilt trip to kickstart the day. These messages are supposed to inspire us, but all they inspire me to do is mute the chat for another 8 hours.

Who Are We Even Doing This For?

Seriously, who benefits from this tradition? Are we all pretending this is enriching our lives? Imagine waking up, bleary-eyed, only to find six "Good Morning" messages, one with Minions telling you to seize the day.

Does anyone genuinely read them and think, Wow, my life is better now? No. You know what actually improves my morning? Coffee. Coffee never guilt-trips me with inspirational quotes.

A Modest Proposal: Ban It

I’m not saying we need a law or anything, but can we, as a society, come to an agreement? Let’s all collectively just stop. If you feel the urge to send a "Good Morning" message, channel that energy into something productive. Like knitting. Or learning to make sourdough. Or literally anything else.

What Should Replace "Good Morning"?

Instead of spamming WhatsApp with solar-themed assault, try this:

  • Send a funny meme. Not one from 2010, though.
  • Share a random fact. Like, did you know octopuses have three hearts? That’s genuinely more useful than a rose JPEG.
  • Or better yet, say nothing. Silence is golden, and your family group chat deserves a moment of peace.

In Conclusion: Let the Sun Rise in Peace

The world is complicated enough without pretending we all love "Good Morning" messages. So let’s put down the GIFs, delete the floral wallpapers, and agree to let mornings be. Let’s live in a society where the first thing you see when you wake up is not a pixelated baby holding a flower.

And if you’re reading this and thinking, But I like sending ‘Good Morning’ messages!—well, congratulations, you’re part of the problem. But it’s okay. You can change. We believe in you. Just don’t send us a message to tell us about it.

Bowls: The Unsung Heroes of the Kitchen That Deserve More Respect Than Plates

 Alright, listen up, folks. Today we’re diving into a hard-hitting exposé on the world of kitchenware. Specifically, we’re here to talk about how bowls—the versatile, magnificent multitaskers that they are—get criminally overlooked in favor of plates. Plates! Those flat, one-trick ponies. How did this happen? How did bowls, the super-powered plates of our culinary arsenal, end up as second-class citizens? Well, no more. Let’s give bowls the respect they deserve. Bowls Are Plates with Ambition You know what a plate is? A glorified Frisbee. Sure, it holds your food, but heaven forbid you try to carry soup, cereal, or a hearty bowl of chili on it. Plates are like, “Oh no, liquids? That’s not my department.” Meanwhile, bowls are out here doing it all. Liquids, solids, hybrids—you name it. A plate is a flat surface. A bowl is a plate that decided, “Hey, what if I evolved ? What if I took this flat little circle and gave it some depth ?” Plates are basic. Bowls have range. The Bowl’s Re...

Thinking Out of the Box? Nah, First Tell Me What's in the Box!

 Let’s have a little chat, folks. A chat about one of the most obnoxious, overused, underexplained phrases in the entire English language: “thinking out of the box.” You’ve heard it in every office meeting, brainstorming session, and inspirational TED Talk. But what does it actually mean? Is there a literal box? What’s in it? Who put it there? I have questions, people! The Box Is the Problem Here’s the thing: “thinking out of the box” doesn’t mean jack squat unless we first define what’s in the box. Like, am I breaking free of conventional ideas, or am I just rejecting bad ones? Is this box full of useful tools for problem-solving, or is it just leftover office pizza and a stapler? The phrase assumes we all instinctively know what the box represents, but guess what? We don’t. And every time someone tells me to think “out of the box,” I’m left wondering if they even know what they’re talking about. (Spoiler: they probably don’t.) Why the Phrase Is the Verbal Equivalent of a Smug...

Black vs. Blue: Why Your Pen Choice Could Be Ruining Your Life

 Let me set the scene for you: you're at a fancy café, sipping overpriced coffee, ready to jot down the next big idea that will revolutionize the world. You whip out your notebook, open it with a flourish, and then— gasp —you pull out a blue ink pen . My dear friend, you may as well have whipped out a crayon and started scrawling like a toddler at a Denny’s. Let’s be real here. Black ink pens are not just tools; they’re statements. They’re sleek, professional, and scream, “I’m a person of substance!” Blue ink pens, on the other hand, are like the cargo shorts of the pen world: outdated, confused, and only there because you didn’t know any better. The Psychology of Black Ink Pens Did you know that black ink is scientifically proven* to make you look smarter? (*Science may not agree, but I sure do.) Black ink pens are used in legal documents, official letters, and anything that screams "I’m not messing around." Why? Because black ink doesn’t just say “I care about this”; it...
