Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Things can be funny only when we are in fun. When we're 'dead earnest,' humor is the only thing that is dead.
As comedians, we are all laughing because life is so horrible. Life is so difficult, and I cope with it by making jokes about absolutely everything.
If you're serious, you really understand that it's important that you laugh as much as possible and admit that you're the funniest person you ever met. You have to laugh. Admit that you're funny. Otherwise, you die in solemnity.
Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.
Life is tragic comedy, in a way. There is humor.
There's no life without humour. It can make the wonderful moments of life truly glorious, and it can make tragic moments bearable.
We must laugh before we are happy, for fear of dying without having laughed at all.
Laughter, and the broader category of humor, are key elements in helping us go on with our life after a loss.
When we are dealing with death we are constantly being dragged down by the event: Humor diverts our attention and lifts our sagging spirits.
Death isn't a funny thing. We're all lucky to be living.
