Comedic Value

Comedy, in this day and age is the most important currency available.

It spans languages, crosses oceans, motivates pranksters, cheers our days, brightens our lives, and breaks the ice in horribly awkward situations.

I can say with confidence that comedy is one of the very few things that motivates me through life, a bold statement i know, but the ability to laugh at anything and possibly everything has kept me going.

If you can laugh at something serious. It fails to therefore be serious. Serious situations have been the curse of humanity for so long, from wars over territories, to meeting new cultures and civilisations, as comedy is the great bridge, as when one culture can laugh with another, that is when bonds are formed.

Honestly, i can laugh at damn near anything, not because im heartless, but because i think the solution is laughter. And i get annoyed when people WANT to be serious, because life isnt serious, but people make it so, even when its quite clearly a laughable situation.

I just wish people had the same outlook as me, as the seriousness of life shouldnt be the norm, i laugh at things to make me feel better about them, but some find it offensive, which i find strange, but thats simply because of my ability not to care about differences between people, not that im ignorant to them, i just simply have little worry for whether their difference is right or wrong, because people will always be different.

I believe in simple concepts like "each to their own" and "whatever floats your boat" because if you dont care whether anyone's belief is wrong or right, then no conflict could come of it, and a side effect of this is the ability to laugh together about incongruities in beliefs and such.
