Taking Life Too Seriously

Sometimes I’m plagued by seriousness as well. But there are few reasons why you should be serious. Very few. I’ll tell you why.

Life itself ain’t serious. See, life’s a joke: You are born, do some unimportant stuff and then you die. Haha! Funny, heh? Yeah, I almost laughed myself to death. Oops, I did it again. I joked about death. Shame on me.

No seriously, all things are neutral by nature. Naturally, there are neither funny nor sad things. And it sucks that most people go through life with an earnestness as if they were part of a huge funeral. Take it easy. Don’t forget to live.

I mean what is it that changes if you decide to take it all with some humor? You won’t be less productive or successful. A smile on your face doesn’t prevent you from working. You will just have more fun.

But fun sounds kinda dangerous, right? And why is that? Because our society tells us so. Fun is usually associated with sin. Well, then it gotta be a sin to live! Maybe we should entomb ourselves one another, this would be alright I suppose. As long as we did it in a serious manner. Oh wait, I’m just joking about death again! I shouldn’t do that. Because society tells me not to do it.

The shocking truth is: Death doesn’t get worse if you tell jokes about it. And life doesn’t get worse if you smile at it.

And that’s why all those moaners really get on my nerves. Get a life and smile! Even if it seems to be dangerous.
