Voltaire – Quoted

2009-04-04Where in the world am I today?: Woke up in Winnipeg, will sleep tonight in North Vancouver

“God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.”

–Voltaire, French author, humanist, rationalist, & satirist (1694 – 1778)

Addendum…

“Whenever possible, realize that the joke is often on you and remember to laugh. It’ll make your days more joyous and life’s adventure that much more interesting”

–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken

I think that sometimes comedy doesn’t need a reason to exist. It just does. If you miss the joke or are afraid to laugh at the joke you miss a wonderful opportunity to rejoice in the light-hearted nature of existence. Shit happens, yes, but laughing about it will put a smile on your face and stressing about it will give you an ulcer.
