10 Life Lessons You Should Learn From The Joker

3. Awareness Is The Most Precious Kind Of Freedom

Gotham City€™s man without a plan is a rare example of a villain who isn't hell bent on world domination, or even personal gain. He just wants to watch the world burn, which makes him so much more frightening. Though, as terrifying as the Joker is, it€™s hard not to see his point on many issues. Make no mistake: there is a method behind his madness, he is more than simply €œan agent of chaos.€ In fact, in a city full of chaos the Joker seems to be the only one who is fully aware of the true nature of society. This indeed gives him complete freedom to behave as he does. While a naive person may write off the Joker's actions as simply the work of a madman, any comic book fan knows that this guy is completely aware of what he's doing. While no one is suggesting that you go out and behave like the Joker, it probably wouldn€™t€™ be a terrible idea if everybody took time to become more aware of society as a whole and of themselves. Just don't go blowing up hospitals.
