Two General Rules of Life - 08-07-02

I wouldn't say I have any personal philosophy and I have no religious beliefs, but there are a few things I've picked up along the way. Here are the two rules of life I have encountered thus far. Maybe I'll take them back or modify them later, but for now they seem accurate.

1. Serious things are usually, if not always, bad. Beware serious people as they often lack a sense of humor and are not fun. Life taken unseriously is worth living, life taken seriously is very painful. Take your time, lay back and enjoy life. If you can take evrything seriously you make yourself and everyone around you miserable and still die in the end.

2. Everything is funny in some aspect, regard, or light. Death is funny, life is funny, tragedy is funny, jokes are funny. Everything is funny somehow. It is often thought that humor and joy go hand in hand. this is not true as many horrible things are funny but not in a happy sort of way. My funeral will be funny, yours will be, too.


Fucking your mother doesn't make me any less of a HOMO.

isn't your second point really a continuation of your first?

I like those theories...I also live for happiness and pleasure...those to me are also important aspects to living...and you need imagination to wrap it all up to a reality

They're not the same rule, one just naturally follows the other. Besides, I sound smarter if I've figured out two rules of life instead of one.

What's a grok?

"Rape is funny" - George Carlin.


Bismarck once said "Fools say they like to learn from their experiences, but I prefer to learn from the experience of others."

"Move that one of your pieces, which is in the worst plight, unless you can satisfy yourself that you can derive immediate advantage by an attack." -Adolph Anderssen

Nothing is damn funny.Everything is just reality.Poor reality...
A lyric by Sopor Aeternus describes it the best:
" So, I prefer to lie in darkest silence alone...,
listening to the lack of light, or sound,
or someone to talk to, for something to share...-
but there is no hope and no-one is there"

Man, how goth is that?


Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

hey wait a second......uh, this thread started with rule 1: life taken seriously is painful; rule 2: everything is funny......
doesn't this thereby imply that rule 1 is wrong sense seriousness is therefore funny?

and in defense of seriousness, where is the theory that life taken serious is painful? i mean, some people take life very seriously and live happy lives, just because they do not relax as much does not mean they lack happiness......what they lack is the happiness relaxed people encompass, whereas relaxed people lack the happiness serious people encompass

Its would be more the seriousness of others that is funny rather than of yourself, since you can not fully take things seriously and humoursly at the same time.
Serious people are happy? They`re the ones that often worry, have little humour and can not have fun from not relaxing enough to forget their concerns.
