Comedians

Some of the most successful of comedians
are actually very miserable, depressed human beings.
They evoke laughter not so much because they are funny
or because that's the way that they earn their money.
They feel good about themselves when laughter upon us they evoke
and get some temporary relief from feeling like a miserable bad joke.
