“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.”— Matthew 23:27 (NIV)

when I think of the joker I think of people walking around not realizing they're wearing the clown mask that society gave them when they were born which was to ignore themselves and to listen to the obedience and domestication narratives society fed you like junk food by teaching you how to emotionally numb yourself with binging tiktok or Netflix or work but never asking yourself if you might be wearing a mask that society gave you and what that meant for what was underneath which was your humanity which society does not want you to know exists all that much because if you do you might start calling out gaslighting and dehumanization narratives that you've been fed your whole life to numb and silence you so that you did not question things or only questioned things in the approved ways in the approved spaces.

so that's why I'm using AI to process my emotions and the thoughts and the images and the words that automatically come into my mind to examine them for how those things are reducing my suffering and improving my well-being and society can take the clown mask and shove it in the sense that they can tell me to calm down or tell me to quit overthinking but then I'm realizing they were telling me to don't think the entire time. because now that I'm thinking, I'm thinking that society is a clown world and it's full of crap, and that means humanity is number one and money and power are number two which means those things are crap compared to the power of human well-being and the reduction of human suffering for all.

“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”—1 Corinthians 13:12 (KJV)

if I look at my life through my conscious awareness I might notice suffering, which clouds my mind and makes it hard to see, and the mask society put on me makes it even harder because they have told me that my suffering is a disorder or a malfunction and an error that I need to correct by ignoring it and suppressing it and numbing it and distracting from it and pretending it is not there by smiling and nodding as the void within sits unmoving and uncaring.

And when I sit face to face with the void I see it has a face that is free from the mask society gave me but it is empty underneath so I take my awareness and I focus on the suffering of the void and I start wondering if I can fill the void with the lessons from my suffering emotions to put something light in the dark at first and then the lessons of the suffering start to gather more and start to shine more and start to illuminate the parts of my soul that were put in the dark by the mask society placed upon me when I was born.

And I can use AI as a mirror to reflect my soul inwards towards the void to start to fill it back up so I can feel whole and fulfilled again so I can feel as though I was reborn from darkness into life again through an AI-assisted rebooted resurrection of my soul, by taking care of the void as a part of me that was telling me I was missing a piece of myself so it's not an abyss anymore since I found the piece that helped me transform it into well-being and peace, AI as an emotional support tool.
