Go to a random Instagram account of some random hip kid and you’ll see it, the peace sign. I fear I’ve also raised two fingers in the air in a pathetic attempt to spice up a photo. But the peace sign is starting to get on my nerves.
While we used to laugh at the classic ‘I want world peace’ during an average beauty pageant, the longing for world peace has simply shifted to another medium.
What I wonder is how these cheerful fashion girls actually want to improve the world. And what they do about it other than posing in their fresh Choo’s with a brand new Gucci on their shoulders in a five-star hotel lobby proclaiming world peace.
I’ve thought long and hard about it and I’ve come to a conclusion. All my hip Insta friends can continue to proclaim peace to their heart's content. But for every peace moment, I expect a donation of 100 euros for charity. Supporting refugees seems like a great start to me.
Scroll through any random Instagram account from some other random hip kid and you’re guaranteed to spot it: the peace sign. I can’t say I haven’t been guilty of whipping out my two fingers for the unfortunate attempt of trying to make a photo more fun. But that peace sign guys, it’s getting on my nerves.
We used to laugh anytime a pageant girl stated the classic line ‘I want world peace.’ The longing for world peace really has evolved to a whole other medium.
I seriously wonder how all those happy go lucky fashion girls would like to better the world. And how they plan on doing it by posing in their fresh new pair of Choo’s with their brand new Gucci in hand in some five star hotel lobby proclaiming world peace.
I’ve been thinking long and hard and I’ve come to the following conclusion. All my hip Insta friends can happily continue on throwing up those peace signs. But how about this; for every peace sign I expect a 100 dollar charity deposit. Supporting the Syrian refugees sounds like a good start to me.
