Stay phunny!!!

Man it really helps to retain your sense of humour even in the midst of misfortune. Ok misfortune here wouldn’t really mean life or death circumstances, but those kinds where you meekly gulp and say ‘shit happens’ and frenziedly try to move on.

So when ‘shit happens’ to keep a firm grip on things and keep away from slithering into despair, humour comes in real handy.

To laugh at our own foibles can be genuinely hilarious, I tell you. Honest humour discloses weaknesses that’s holding back happiness, but without disdain. It’s like this pointer of our inadequacies, not a censor of it. The intent is to fortify, not to injure. Like a shock absorber that makes it easier to get over the jolts and bumps in life.

I have noticed those with a fine sense of humour (not essentially malicious sarcasm); have a good sense of life too.

A dear friend whose adversity makes mine look absurdly stunted and puny, has this rare ability to guffaw through her problems. She is most definitely a rare breed….and a happy one indeed.
