The way the author wrote this article has some positive insight about the egg, so why? the creator could have easily chose something completely different but chooses to make the post an Egg. The creator states that an egg symbolizes universality of this world, it has no gender, race, or religion. An egg is an egg. The egg also gave a message after it went viral, how the pressures of social media are getting to him. I find it interesting how such a mundane object can also be a way to transmit a message about the concerns of mental health. I myself am currently going through mental health issues and I feel that people should be aware of how severe mental issues can be if left unattended/ignored.
