There are Jokes and then there are jokes

Sean Hayes' character Jack McFarland says in Will & Grace: "I get it, comedy" (in episode Love & Marriage, the pilot). This sitcom line shows that comedy can be versatile. It can be funny - and it can be hurtful. Yes, there are Jokes and there are jokes.

Usually jokes make us laugh. But that doesn't mean that we all would find them hilariously funny, oh no. Some people laugh because everyone else is, not because they are entertained.

I'm one of those people, who love to laugh. I laugh at many things, even the joke is hurting some of the things I find important and meaningful. I watch sitcoms, because it's sometimes easier to deal with life with laughter - there are enough of tears in everyday life.

Yet comedy and jokes deal with real life and real issues. Painful things are brought to the daylight in the form of jokes. And I've met people, who make jokes about everything, but rarely discuss the real issues. What a pity.

Sometimes we come to reveal our inner emotions via jokes. Sometimes we just blur more than we intented in a joke. Then all we need is somebody, who can read between lines and pick up the signs. I know that there are issues, which are easier to deal with via jokes than via serious discussion. Yet, I've always regarded honestly very high...

Personally I love to laugh and make others laugh, too. I can write some funny lines and say some occasionally, too. I don't like to laugh at others' expense, but at funny stories and witty lines. I hate it when people combine a punch line and a bitchy comment and think that the result it something nice. Those are not jokes at all, just backstabbing and hurting.

There's a saying, which goes:I hope that life isn't a one big joke, because I don't get it. I know how that feels, although I must admit that I don't feel that way. Sometimes I do smile at the tiny little jokes God has placed in our lives. Some twists and turns make me think that the knows the value of comedy.
