"Humour." paggliacciA Chapter by Brett NortjeThis is about growing up and learning to be mature and laugh at one's self, and, how to idulge in humour from the point of view of the other person, irony, if you will?
I literally cannot stop laughing at myself. Well, I have gotten used to myself, of late, but every now and then I do something I do not understand, and, think to myself, "why?" Then, I think of myself fro many angles, and, laugh at the most stupid example of how I am living and doing things wrong, as, this is "maturity," yet "immaturity."
True, anything can be funny. If someone scratches through our bins, that is funny because they exhibit weakness in a certain way, financially, yes? On the other hand, watching that bin owner crossing the street in a hurry in high heels could be funny because they might look out of place, and, the shack dwellers might have a laugh. Yes, life is a joke, everyone is someone else's joke! If you were to observe that we laugh at those in pain, then we will find that strength is the thing we seek and weakness in other's is a source of joy for us, that we find ourselves rising above, that we rejoice, and, that we are indeed thankful for our place in society. On the other hand, we might also laugh at those that think too much f themselves coming down to earth, waking up and looking at the world around them, one we have a place in, where others display strength of some other sort, and, they exhibit weakness, again. So, when we see someone in pain, it is the right thing to do to help them, this will stimulate and nurture society, and, we will find our place in it stronger, at least in our own mind, and that is incentive to help them. Without incentive, there is no inception or idea forming to help them, if you will? ~ Of course laughing while helping them is like an parent laughing at their child stumbling for their first steps, hey? Now, when we rejoice at the pain of others, we will indeed find more reason to rejoice with helping them. Growing up means we want to find a end to their suffering, where we push for a better role in 'the family unit,' of course.
