Sense of humor
    #7950428 - 01/29/08 01:32 PM (16 years, 3 days ago)

Is one of the best medicine in my opinion. :smile:
And in my case it seems to be mostly generated by getting my ass kicked. :lol: Every time I get pissed off can turn into a reminder that maybe it's a wise choice to relax. Usually trying to look at this matter from an outside perspective seems to do the trick, as it helps me to develop a pleasant feeling of self humor.
I could easily say that humor is intrinsically related to spirituality. It simply chases all the black clouds away, leaving room for joy, relaxation and opening the channels of communication, it heightens the awareness and perception... I really see it as a wonder therapy. :heart:

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

You're right...laughing at yourself can be a great way to lighten up.

Lately I seem to move between laughing and crying quite easily.  It's all good.  :heartpump:

I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Good! People who seldom do either are the worst.

Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man.  For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire.  Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it.

Most of what the human race does is not only very funny but totally ridiculous. When I can objectively remove myself from a total connection with these matters, I can appreciate the humor of the human condition.

Good.  Because humor is a business.  You can not be funny unless it makes someone some $$$.  :slaves:

Not saying that anger doesn't have it's place (moderation and control is key), but humor and joy can also be quite rewarding....    :thumbup:

A lot of times, I'll find myself dissecting jokes or things that I find/found funny; 'deconstructing', as it were, the elements that led to my finding it funny. By the end, I still find it funny, just with a bit more understanding 'why?'.

IMO all humor is gallows humor. It's a way to relieve the pressure from the horrifying realization that the Universe is chaotic and we are not in charge of any outcomes.
