Living on planet Earth comes with a great deal of suffering and pain. We’re lucky to even find love, let alone keep it. Some days, it can feel like the sky itself is falling down upon you. On days like that, just remember, you don’t have to be so serious, just get a little silly. I’m coming out of the serious closet; I’ve always known who I was since I was a little boy. 

Getting a little silly is an ancient cure-all practiced since the time of the Greeks. Diogenes was one of the first silly guys. Diogenes’ name literally means son of a bitch. Remember, no one serious has ever gotten a hernia. With that being said, if my doctor comes in laughing, I’m leaving immediately. Of all things that are contagious, like aids, polio and laughter, laughter is undoubtedly the best. 

Anytime you’re explicitly discouraged from laughing, it is automatically the funniest thing ever. I remember going to my great-uncle’s funeral, who died from superabundant flatulence. In his Eulogy, they mentioned his cause of death, and I couldn’t help snickering. I even let out a little toot in solidarity.  

The Hindenburg exploding, well, why would they name it after that thing that sank the Titanic. Why would anyone go to work on 9/11 — it’s 9/11 for Christ’s sake. OJ murdering his wife and escaping LA, ah hell “The Juice is Loose” even rhymes. It’s always confused me that as a society, we joke about 9/11, but OJ murdering his wife is considered off limits. 9/11 is like 2000 Nicole Brown Simpsons.

There is even an irony in Zionist Israelis saying, “Remember the Holocaust” while actively committing another genocide, but I guess some of them must have forgotten. 

We all have to live on this planet and try to make the best of a bad situation. After all, what do Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed and Moses have in common? Everyday they cry over the state of humanity.
