When Strangers Become Real
What would you do if you could fire a paintball gun at a stranger from the comfort of your couch? Iraqi artist Wafaa Bilal discovered the answer when he locked himself in a gallery for thirty days, allowing anyone online to remotely shoot at him. People from 138 countries fired 60,000 rounds while typing hateful messages they'd never say face-to-face. The experiment wasn't performance art for its own sake-Bilal's brother had died from a drone strike, and he wanted to show how technology lets us hurt people without feeling their pain. This distance, this ability to disconnect from others' humanity, sits at the heart of our modern crisis. We live in an age of unprecedented connection yet declining empathy. But here's the surprising truth: empathy isn't hardwired or fixed. It's more like a skill we can choose to develop, a muscle we can strengthen through practice. The question isn't whether we're capable of empathy-it's whether we're willing to do the work.
