Low Expectations:“A writer hopes to surprise his readers now and then. If we agree about everything, then one of us is redundant. Of course, rigorous truthfulness is good, but that gets harder and harder to achieve. So I settle for being amusing.”
—Garrison Keillor, writer and radio host, 2008
One can tell the hard truth and be amusing at the same time....
ReplyDeleteProblem is, that some dont 'get' the core truth hidden in the humour...
Pity that the need for approval - why else would one steer away from telling the hard truth? - has been inculcated so thoroughly into so many...
Fear is a powerful demotivator/motivator....

True enough, Ms. Kiwi Changebringer. Humor is always tricky, as it doesn't always translate. And we all know people who could use a little overhaul/upgrade on their sense of humor. It we all could laught at ourselves a little more, the planet would be a lighter place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input.
