Joan Rivers…you either do or do not have a comedy mind, whatever that is, maybe a heightened sense of the ridiculous and the absurdity of life… We are all crazy and crazed.
About This Quote
We all have the need to laugh and feel good about ourselves and life. Have you ever watched a comedy and seen someone make a face and laugh out loud? This is because we all respond to humor. We may not always express it, but we all find some element of humor in ourselves. A good comedian can take something that is actually terrible or tragic, show it to us in a way that makes us laugh, and then use that laughter to teach us about life.
That’s why comedy is so important. Life is so much more than just eating, sleeping, breathing, working, worrying, being kind to others, being nice to people, being fair, being honest, being able to stand up for yourself when you are wronged. Life well lived is the comedy of the absurd.
Comedy teaches us how to be human well by showing what happens when we are not.
