Laugh At Yourself
So many people walk this earth taking everything seriously. They see a world that is happening to them rather than just absurdly happening. They are in the stage as the main star of the play rather than just a piece of a bigger production.
To survive in this world, one has to laugh. We are absurd creatures who likes things that aren’t important. We choose to look like our favorite kind of music becaus just listening to that kind of music isn’t enough.
We are funny. We can see the ridiculousness in others, but we have such a hard time seeing where we are total lunatics. Sometimes we refuse to admit that we are total weirdos.
We are so scared of being who we really are. Laughing at ourselves is such a pure tool to allow us to be the real authentic us. We disguise ourselves in fashion, fake personas just so no one will see the scared little shit we are.
No one really cares who you are anyway. Your real friends and family will just want you to be happy – being yourself will make you happy.
The very idea that someone is thinking negatively about us or doesn’t like some aspect of our interests or look can make us lose sleep, lose our appetites or even make us lose our minds.
Stop. Look at yourself. See the absurdity of it all. See that you out so much stock in silly things for the short time you are alive. Laugh.
Laugh at yourself. Laugh at the ego centric disguises you are hiding behind. Laugh at your absurdities. Laugh at how you do things like other people just so you don’t look alone.
Laugh or have no meaning in your life.
