Almost all religions and yogic traditions talk about being selfless, or transcending our ego. Even though we have no idea what that is, we might -hopefully- have a distinguishing sense about what is really needed to be done or what is excessively done for the sake of our own pride-greatness.
All the spiritual work or all the religious work people do, is to overcome these unneccesary emotions and actions which if not worked on, can deepen even more the illusion of the ego or the wrong self.
In life, everything should evolve from negative to the positive, yet again positive can be falsely defined by our current sense of ego...Comedy seems to me, takes action right here! Only in comedy, things go from the positive to the negative and it feels so much fun!
Comedy, in a sense, feels like a divine clue that gives the impression, going against our emotion and logic is a universal joke itself, we can make fun of them because they are not that important, it is our beliefs and attachments to our ego, makes it serious-painful.
That is the reason, in the short experience of joke, you feel so much relief as of all the troubles of the world has been lifted off from your shoulders. It is like glimpse -clue of the truth, that set you free for that moment, then it is up to us to catch the clue and develop it comedically or spiritually.
In this case, I will only cover the techniques and the subjects of comedy, rather than spiritual work but this idea is the basis of my breakdown.
