This is no laughing matter, but I understand if you laugh afterwards.

Thank you for your response. ✨
Have you ever noticed the strength people demonstrate when overcoming deceit? The movie Joker explored various layers of trauma and misinformation, ultimately helping us understand the main character’s journey towards self-discovery. Alongside his struggles, Joker found ways to navigate his surroundings and confront his challenges, highlighting the resilience of the human spirit.
Many young men find themselves ensnared in this reality, an unfortunate consequence of not being properly guided during their formative years. Joaquin, bound by a sense of duty to care for his mother, sacrificed the prospect of building a family of his own, stunting his growth into manhood. The weight of this responsibility anchored him in a mindset that prevented him from fully embracing his potential and stepping into the world as the man he could have been.
Even if the mother lives with him, and he has to constantly look after her instead of his own family, it becomes a burden that is too heavy for him to bear. Due to the absence of fathers in many homes, young men in America face unnecessary pressure to take care of their mothers. However, this is only half of the problem. Joker now has to navigate adulthood without any guidance, and we can see how he is treated at work by his coworkers and the children who took his sign from him.
The scene where he lashed out on Morty was a result of years of misinformation he was not taught as a child. While some may argue that this is just a movie, I am using Joker as an example of what is happening in our society. If you pay attention, you will notice that many troubled youth have the same problem — a lack of guidance and instruction.
When we encounter profound pain, our only refuge may be laughter, for life can be strikingly cruel. This becomes a powerful coping mechanism, a desperate attempt to drown out the agony. The Joker’s journey to become a comedian was not merely a pursuit of laughter; it was a poignant escape from the torment that lingered within him. I can still feel the weight of that heartbreaking scene with Morty; it remains etched in my memory as one of the most sorrowful moments I’ve witnessed in ages. And what was Morty’s response? Instead of offering solace, he chose to hurl insults at the Joker, revealing a disheartening lack of empathy when compassion was most needed.
Even if he intended to have him arrested, he should have at least had the decency to wait until the show wrapped up. But there it was, a shocking scene; the Joker declared, “my life is a joke.” That statement landed like a punch to the gut. We all know how this twisted tale concludes, yet it’ll sadly go unnoticed. As usual, make the most of your day, but remember: you matter more than you dare to believe.
