About This Quote

When people are in pain, they often try to make light of their situation by finding humor in it. The idea is that someone who is suffering can see the humor in his or her suffering. Humor helps them cope by allowing them to ignore their pain. Unfortunately, the better you are at seeing the humor in your suffering, the worse it gets.
