What is Comedy and Why Does It Exists?

5 posts in this topic

The title says it all. Look for examples in nature outside of just humans for it as well. Let us know through your insights what God says Comedy is For!!! Also what are healthy uses of comedy.


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

I believe comedy is paradox, so for example we like to make fun of the hypocritical nature of us humans!!! Infinity has no choice but be paradoxical and and that lies at the heart of comedy.

Comedy comes from the outrageous nature of the ego. For example, it's entertaining to watch an ego like Michael Scott struggle to manage an office. His hypocrisy and his blind spots make it funny. 

That's also where tragedy comes from: the lack of self-awareness of the ego. Othello murders his wife because he thinks that she wasn't faithful. When he finds out that she was faithful, he kills himself. 

It's entertaining and instructive to watch the outrageous actions and reactions of unconscious egos. The ego's ignorance is the source of all the tragedies and hilarities of humanity.

"Dramas of human error are of value because they serve as learning examples. Maturity often evolves through painful errors and mistakes and is therefore accompanied by rueful irony and satire, as well as comedy." - Dr. Hawkins

"Make a gift of your life and lift all mankind by being kind, considerate, forgiving, and compassionate at all times, in all places, and under all conditions, with everyone as well as yourself. That is the greatest gift anyone can give." - Dr. David R. Hawkins

Life is just a cosmic joke that you take seriously. Ironically if you treat life like a joke you're probably in for a bad time. But if you treat life too seriously life is torture. So you have to laugh at it all while pushing forward. Everyone knows a drunk idiot who just listens to comedy podcasts and doesn't take his life seriously, wallowing in self pity and getting nothing done. Those people just love drama and BS. I'm glad they have their coping mechanism but that's not fun or funny to me. Comedy is a form of escape from the meaningful nature of life (there is no meaning to your life whatsoever but it's important to your well being to play this game). Comedy is like a break from all the work you are doing. The joke is your ego playing its game and the paradoxical nature it. Human nature is hilarious. You don't need anything but the present moment and that makes you laugh after years of banging your head against the wall
