Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes


decoding comedy

There were some really nice jokes in this book, I will share one this time. Particularly, I liked those couple jokes because I m very interested in creation, spirituality and philosophy. Since I am already loaded with lots of logical&emotional input, the jokes had a better impact on me. Now, remember what I always say, the initial state a person is in emotionally&logically will determine their reaction to the joke.

I have liberated thoughts because of that I was fine with the jokes, on the other hand, for a person who takes their religion, God so personally, instead of laughing, they can get offended or if they dont have very active emotional&logical side to them for religion, jokes might not feel so funny. The joke will contradict to those emotions&logic, the stronger the contradiction, the funnier the joke. If no strong emotion&logic initially, the oppurtunity of strong contradiction is missed.

So if you are buying such a book, means , you already have strong thoughts&emotions about the subject. So the type&subject of jokes were on point here.

The joke is in the form of a cartoon, in the cartoon we see God sitting on his throne, above the clouds, next to him we see an Angel, Angel is suprised, God says " It is really embarrasing to admit but there is no reason at all that has ever happened and happening ! "  

Normally, reality has a limitation when it comes to the wrong&mistake&negative...because if it s too negative and full of mistakes, it s not inhabitable for human life. But we can "suppose" "create many scenarios full of mistakes&negativity for the sake of comedy" Cartoons and any other comedical form serves that purpose.

Why, is the most important question and we might see God, who can really answer that question? What would be so opposite, wrong, incredibly horrible... It would be Him saying, there is no reason at all, sorry... :) Always go the upmost negative for comedy, go big to the mistake just like in this example.
