Premium Member A Good Sense of Humor Blunts the Sharp Blades of Reality
Cackles, snickers, chortles and squeals ease life's weight. Laughter can completely reset our composure. Humors random salves of mirth can ease feeling states. Past times of paled poise were health fueled by laughs ardor. Laughter can completely reset our composure. Acute giggles often cause worthy tummy bunched aches. Past times of paled poise were health fueled by laughs ardor....

Harsh is life’s reality. Each trial we endure is a sword of steel that pierces the jagged edges of our imperfect souls. We cannot escape the occasional slashes from life’s rapier that fall upon us when times are hard, but neither can we get through life living with sorrow and angst without a relief valve. Even in the midst of great tragedies, humans have found ways to...

The reality of life can leave a bad taste, especially when dealing with those who are two-faced. The road to hell may be paved with good intentions, but hell on earth is dealing with constant contraventions. Everywhere we look there is always tension, often coming from those we'd rather not mention. But through it all, there's one thing I've never misplaced, something that simply can't be...

I try to crack a joke to tame a tense situation, As a way of blowing up the slow building steam. With a joke, I see all resentments flitting away, And watch, how a happy mood begins to stream. Stiff formalities often leave me choking In a very serious company, I feel at a loss I'm so much at ease...

A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality
When life threw me a curveball, I stumbled—then chuckled mid-fall. Lumped knees, not pride, I wore like bent, because sneering is something I've seen. In chemo rooms and vestibules, I frenzied dry jokes on aseptic walls. Doctors simpered, nurses would beam— a punch-line where the fear had been. When agony thumped hard and sleep grew thin, I let the silly light writhe in. A meme,...

A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality: Shaving Ryan’s Privates
Roll back the clock to Josef Locke (and not before or after), in climes where shrines have names like Knock without provoking laughter. My father was an army man (and yet me to beget), all spit-and-polish, spick-and-span, and quite the martinet. Those soldier boys were short on poise in those benighted days: the Murphys, Martins and Molloys were raised in rustic ways. But Duty Sergeant Kevin Coy, vesuviously...

A Good Sense Of Humor Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality
We look at life as a routine clown show, Slipping on banana peels that we throw; Clothing in mismatched socks of hope and sin, Mirror laughs back with toothpaste on the chin. We discover that joke requires balance, Fixing the glaring lamp of limit's glance; In slippers, we walk the tightrope to sink, Accepting discord of life with a wink. We...

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps, as you walk the tightrope of life.

A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality
How I hate it when they call me a clown, Yet I can't help but make people laugh. It comes unbidden, needing no invitation — As though a trove of jokes is placed in my mouth. Often I try to bridle my face and talk tough, But when a flume of gloom drowns spirits deep down, Then my sense of humour...
