Meanwhile the kid with globophobia is curled up under their desk having a panic attack.

Then everyone clapped and they never experienced unhappiness since.

Except that's not how life works

The computer science teacher on the other hand used this as an opportunity to talk about the importance of efficient sorting algorithms.

And the planet was happy to have a whole bunch more pointless plastic to suffocate under.
SnackMasterRanger
That's fucking bullshit only you can determine what makes you happy and how happy you are.

Corny, but true.

Im ok with defunding schools if thats where my tax dollars go. I want my kids to know how to read & spell, not do balloon hunts.

Then he was fired for putting covid filled plastic bubbles in a crowded area, for kids to share.
sirinigo
Except for Billy, some dick popped his baloon

*POP* well, there goes John's happiness.

Our indifference to plastic pollution illustrated once more.. are balloons recyclable?
JohnSmithterms
They could be. But are not. Many things could be. But are not. This is the biggest problem i have. Sustainability is critical for our health
SiriusWolf
And yet trying to make others happy makes me fucking miserable. lol
drcapthandsome
And then they all got covid
EverydayIdleness
"You will never find happiness unless someone else gives it to you, your own efforts mean nothing" is not a great lesson.
killeroo1
So why are there no names on any of the balloons?
IAmAnthonyStark
If I remember correctly, last time this was posted someone else said the photo was actually from some type of prank

"How to pollute the planet with plastic"
TheCarolingian
Say 3000 balloons, you pick up one, and try to return it to the owner? You start asking, just like everyone else. The chaos that ensues....
mathieugravelle
I was so busy helping others find their balloon that mine got stepped on and popped
StellaZaFella
I often see the least happy people trying their hardest to ensure the happiness of others while theirs is ignored

And now everyone has COVID-19.

Y’all have seriously forgotten there was a time before the pandemic

Constantly caring about others happiness while not searching for my own is why I'm depressed, lonely and too easily form attachments.
Someshithead241
Basically, this lesson is fucking dumb
silentdespair
As someone who spent my entire life trying to make others happy it only ended up giving me even worse depression.
wmzer0mw1
You cannot make others be happy; but you can share your happiness with others

Please don't teach kids to base their own happiness on that of others, or their sense of self-worth on partnership & family. Or on job ...
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
success, for that matter. I'm not suggesting turning them into narcissists. Instill a sense of social responsibility in them, but also ...
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
teach them to be self-reliant, ignore the opinions of anyone but the select few who matter, and say "No" and "Fuck you" on occasion.
lalwaysupvotecatsandTHT
And somehow, not a single kid popped another kid's balloon.
maddshakes
If you inflate a balloon just enough to have a nice shape, it’s near impossible to squeeze and pop it.
FlipTheBirdBeforeTheBirdFlipsYou
I had my balloon popped at school
parkerh17
Well it says professor which would imply adults, but it looks like a middle/high school so who knows.
DanniLuxgarbe
For what it's worth: The post does specify 'professors' which would tend to imply near-or-actual adult students. On the other hand not /1
DanniLuxgarbe
everyone is good at ignoring the Imp of the Perverse.
thepenisqueen
And one kid went around popping everyone elses until they found theirs first.
LightingSquirrel
Another life lesson. Some people are cunts. If you spot one, break them and/or inform others and let them remove that virus of a person.
QmanTheEmperor
Yep I would totally do that.
strideo
That's weird because I was miserable for years trying to please others and I truly started enjoying my life when I started living it for me.
HsuDoNihm
Pleasing others is not the same as caring for others. Hard lesson that took me too long to learn.
Etrigan77
It will only work if everyone concerned themselves with other happiness. Thanks for trying, shame no one else joined in. :-(
mayodash
I think you have to be surrounded by people with the same mind set.. I've found a few. You can too!
EvilStarLegacy
Are you implying that this story that implies physically searching for a balloon is akin to finding mental peace and happiness is FAKE?
ropetopus
Balance; concern only for yourself sucks, but so does having no concern for youself
tanebot
That's not the kind of story you tell people to make them try to please you. The one above si much more useful.
deathmagiks
Because you can't focus on handing others their balloon while also not paying attention to who is trying to hand you yours. Gotta be mutual.
B99Reactions
its a matter of perspective, sometimes letting others find their own path is the best thing you can do for them and for yourself
rainevasquez
It feels like you misunderstand the lesson. It isn’t about “pleasing” another, or living your life to make them happy. It is about caring 1/
rainevasquez
For them, and their happiness. Take a mother, she should please her child and give it everything it asks for, she should care for it, even2/
rainevasquez
Denying it things it ought not to have, which it thinks might make it happy. Her care and genuine engagement with its happiness and 3/

Wellbeing, outside what would bring it satisfaction, are what bring the mother contentment and meaning, even in the face of dissatisfaction

Bull, we all know that one lucky bastard who found his own in like 15 seconds.
Naefindale
Keep focusing on that and you’ll never live a good life.
clayman318
Applicable in life as well. Some people get lucky but for most people its easier to just help each other
skwint
And 100 more who point at him and say "see? we don't need to help each other!"
MissKalanek
And then he claimed that he worked hard for this and the other are just lazy

Yeah life's just great for Eric... fuck Eric is what I think.

And that guy bragging is why we cling to plutocratic capitalism.

I would just punch with needle as many balloons in that 15s

He didn't find his own balloon. He stole somebody else's balloon and wrote his name on it.,
