A good dose of humor to kill boredom. Today the whole world celebrates Blue Monday. Every third Monday of the first month of the year, this special day would be considered the most depressing. An event like no other, putting depression in the spotlight.
According to the site jour-mondiale.comthis date was determined “scientifically” in 2005 by Cliff Arnall, a psychologist and university professor working in Wales, in the city of Cardiff. According to the scientist, this would coincide with several factors that would worsen our mood on this day which would not be chosen at random. Like Monday, the first day of returning to work, the period when expenses are at their lowest during the second half of January, after the end-of-year holidays, or even the winter weather which would affect our character.
Internet users humorously mock Blue Monday
Although this theory has never been verified, some people take this day seriously. While other refractories express doubts as to the veracity of this legend. Like this journalist from Franceinfo who claims that Blue Monday does not exist, while other colleagues assure that it is a communication stunt orchestrated by a travel agency.
However, the year 2020 did not smile on everyone due to the health crisis which affected billions of humans. It is not the French who will say the opposite since they are 72% to be more depressed than last yearaccording to a study by the agency CREATE. The only solution to avoid crushing: laughter and funny stories from Internet users who have shown humor on social networks. Planet reveals their best jokes in the slideshow above.
