Humor. We have lost the ability to laugh at each other. Gentle poking, seeing the silliness of it all, mocking the pompous has been lost to toxic judgment.
Pointing out ethnic or cultural differences is seen as insensitive, thanks to political correctness, but laughing at differences is a way of reducing them to just another quirk, nothing to worry about. We really are all the same but the current trend insist we focus on differences like it's a threat.
Laugh at the loud boors who behave like stuffy parents scolding smart ass kids. Laugh at the hypocrisy in politics, poke fun at the emperor who has no clothes.
Instead we harass and punish the class clowns, comedians, and court jesters who remind us to stop being so serious. Life is a joke, sometimes a big fat screaming ironic one and sometimes delightfully silly.
When we focus on our ego trips, we need to be reminded that none of this is real.
So take aim at cultural, racial, or religious stereotypes because they are silly and insignificant. Point and laugh at sexism, body shaming and gender politics that try to separate us from, you know, them when we are all in the same wading pool of shit.
Laughter will set you free.
