HUMOR is freedom

Our freedom to find humor and laugh at the world is being negotiated by the terminally miserable. Such people attempt to dictate what we can’t say and can’t do. These emotionally crippled people have lost the ability to find joy.

The truth is, nobody can take away the freedom of thinking funny. Enjoying the absurdity of life’s incongruities is the only weapon we have against the paralysis of our emotions. When we laugh during turbulent times the uphill road isn’t as steep because emotions aren’t weighing us down.

Just as an airplane hits turbulence, so does our life. The captain’s job is to find smoother air. A pilot doesn’t question why the air is turbulent or let emotions fly the plane. The mission is to find an altitude that works.

Laughter gets us there. Humor keeps us there.
