Happiness Over Anger

Most of us or maybe, some of us tend to have our happiness built on others’ sorrow and pain; even by seeing their angry faces, we may find it hilarious, at times. Movies with the little scenarios whereby the crucial body part of the male being kicked, with the audiences covering their mouths and the same organ as the character does, if there is any that is, as though they’re feeling the pain too, not forgetting the little giggling and laughter along the way. We have the funniest videos being uploaded to the web and put on the screen, which eventually attracts the attention of the crowd, hitting the targeted numbers of views, where the individuals will then nudge the people around and pass it on. It may be rude as we laugh, it might be inconsiderate as we imitate the same incidents which have already taken place and it would be taking more than just efforts to stop ourselves from hurting our stomachs due to over-exercising. Nevertheless, there would still be those who go up to a psychology student and say psychologists use what they’ve learned to earn a great deal of money by cheating the patients, and would simply get away from any further scolding with one simple sentence, “I’m just kidding.” It seems there’s a whole new definition on the word humor, a different way in creating a conversation between two or more; which is by teasing and criticizing, with the little insult and offend if necessary. Making the assumption that every one would see such jokes as jokes instead of offensive statements without considering the status and personalities of the listeners, the speakers thought they have everything under control when the fact is, they don’t. When they were being thrown the rotten tomatoes and eggs, then they realized how the meaning of one particular sentence actually differs from one individual to another. Still, there would be the people who tend to laugh at the angry faces and say, “You should really look into the mirror and see how funny your facial expression is.” It is frustrating when we’re telling them not to make assumption that one joke applies for all and the reply is, “I don’t make assumptions, I read signs.” Great, the sign on the angry faces is actually asking them to tell more insulting jokes, how smart.
