Mocking feeds the evil voices in the head.
In fact, I mock your mocking: “Oooh, I’m going to make myself feel big by putting others down…. I can’t find healthy ways to meet my emotional needs…. you suck, so I’m cool.” - Mr. Issues , (Eminem)
Self mockery, however, kicks booty. And pirates love booty.
