Mockery, Judgment, and the Way We Treat People
Mockery has been part of human behavior for as long as people have gathered in groups. It shows up in ancient texts, public rituals, political life, and entertainment. It is not a new problem, and it is not unique to the modern world. What has changed is the reach and speed with which cruelty can spread. Social media has been around long enough now to shape entire generations, and it has turned public humiliation into a daily practice. People can mock someone they have never met, never spoken to, and never seen in person, and they can do it with no sense of consequence. The distance between the speaker and the target creates the illusion that the target is not fully human. Fame becomes a shield that people believe gives them permission to say anything they want. But fame does not erase vulnerability, and it does not protect anyone from the impact of ridicule.

The Fifth Anniversary of a Life I Almost Lost
Five years ago today — April 1, 2021 — my life split in two. Late that night, driving home to Plano, Texas from Houston, Texas, I was involved in a violent car accident that fractured my T7, shattered five ribs, cracked my sternum, broke my nose, and left both of my eyes blackened. The police report estimated the impact at 11:11 p.m. — a detail that still lands with a strange, unmistakable weight.
