Last year was one of the most serious, unfunny years I’ve ever experienced. It was fraught with political tension and people were scared to speak honestly about things for fear of offending.
I want to make 2018 funnier. We need some comedic relief with everything that's going on in the world right now. The Philosophy of Funny (something I just coined) is about viewing the world through the lens of a comedian and not getting offended by things. It’s about finding something funny about everything situation.
At the end of the day, being funny and silly is, well... fun. Being funny makes our current predicament a lot more bearable. Looking at the funny side in life can make you happier and more creative, too. And in a time that is so deathly serious, we need more jokers, troublemakers and lighthearted people turning serious situations into lighter ones.
If you’re finding you’re jaded, in a bad mood or haven’t laughed in ages, watch a funny movie. Go see a standup. Do something silly with friends. Loosen your grip on the world.
There’s something funny in every situation––you just have to look for it.
