Practically not a day went by when I woke up to see BBC notifications on my phone alerting me to a bombing, a mass killing, or some other horrific incident. Celebrity death hoaxes went out of fashion simply because of the deaths becoming all too true. Politics went to the gutter – and not only in the United States – with relationships going down the drain.
With all that – and more – we have dubbed 2016 to be the worst year ever, and by December 2016, 99.99 percent of the world’s population couldn’t wait to leave the year behind, only hoping to have a better 2017. It can’t be worse, right? Maybe not.
Then again, there’s always a bright side to things. If you don’t abide by that principle, that’s fine. But, one really can’t deny that there were some good things that made 2016 bearable – even good. Maybe even enough to strip the label “2016 Worst Year Ever”.
Here’s an infographic made by the folks at BargainFox, which will give you a more positive perspective of the year that was.
