At first, I only laughed at myself. Then I noticed that life itself is amusing. I've been in a generally good mood ever since.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes I make myself laugh, but that's because I appreciate my sense of humor.
I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes; but look where I will, there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life.
I try to maintain the perspective that life is meant to be laughed at.
If I'm laughing, you know I'm either very happy or very sad. I cope with things with jokes.
Very few things are totally devoid of any possibility of humor. If you are aware of that possibility and alive to the scene becoming that way, then it just happens naturally. That's what I feel living is like, too. I find a lot of things that make me smile or make me laugh over the course of the day.
If I laugh a couple of times a day, I'm doing good. People think it's their God-given right to be happy, and it's just not. It's something you've got to work at. I like to paint the human condition, and the human condition is not smiles and happy people.
It's very easy for me to laugh at myself and laugh at life.
I also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I'm not laughing, it upsets my day.
It's not hard for me to be funny in front of people, but most of that is just horrified nerves taking the form of what makes people laugh, and afterwards I'd always feel dreadfully depressed, kind of self-induced bi-polar disorder.
I can't not find humor in elements of most parts of life, but at the same time nothing ever seems perpetually funny to me.
