We Shall Overcome
I was at a picnic today and Mel told me, “Having a sense of humor is important. But there are some things that you shouldn’t laugh about.”
Today’s “Comedy Around the World” takes us to Clearfield, PA. Not exactly Oslo, Norway–where I had planned to take us today, blog-wise anyway–but still there is something to learn.
My reply to Mel was, ”Yes, you can laugh at everything. We need to.”
Understand that ’laughing’ doesn’t mean being onstage. You don’t even have to get a laugh. It doesn’t have to even be verbalized. You can do this in your own head.
If you can take a negative experience and notice the irony in it, then you just accomplished the task. You can now see the bigger picture, have a larger perspective, see more than just one side, and lessen the negative’s impact.
