“People laugh at things they don’t understand. It makes them feel safe. But it’s a false feeling”(78).
Judgment is throughout the book and all of the characters are used to it. This was said by Mildred who was answering Raymond’s question of why he was being laughed at by his step-siblings. Mildred expresses her reasoning through feelings and emotions because that is what she always has and relies on throughout most of her life.
When looking at this quote most people would come up with the reason that those who do judge do it out of insecurity. This is an interesting look at why people would make an assumption on others. Being able to feel is a strong influence on how a person acts and speaks in any situation. If a person does not understand what someone is going through they will automatically be confused or maybe insecure to have the bravery to outwardly laugh at the other person's misfortune.
