By being empathetic to it being a reality of life, it's inconceivable that you want attention and you're not going to have judgment in a world that is obsessed with taking things out of context and only headline reading.

And they're gonna, hey, Jeremiah 794. Like, they will literally watch this. Do you know how cool that is? But at the end of the day, how do I handle it? Humility and empathy.

it's nice in the stark contrast with the nice perspective. And I don't disagree. Price it in as the cost of doing business. Cost of doing business, you put things on the internet, people are going to say mean stuff to you. And fighting against that is like King Canut trying to stop the tide.
