LAUGHING AT OURSELVES

"Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly; devils fall because of the gravity."
*G.K. CHESTERTON*

We are at the center of the drama that is our life and, like actors hamming it up, we sometimes play our role with excessive amounts of emotion, self-importance, and shouting.

We'd be a lot more effective - and a lot more fun to be around - if we thought of our lives as a comedy.  A comedy with a moral, perhaps, and filled with gentle laughter rather than howls - a comedy that recongnizes that there's more to the world than what we do or think.

I recongize that the things I do - my accomplishments and my mistakes - are not insignificant, but if I take things too seriously, life won't be fun.  Humor can help me keep things in perspective.
