The Comedy of it all..

 The word "Comedy" has had different definitions throughout different periods of history, whether during the Renaissance, or in the age of Tik-Tok that we're experiencing right now.

Then comes Life, and people start going through what they would call "tragedies", then people go through periods of desperation, internal conflicts, which then cause a "knot" in their system.

A lot of those "knots" are formed during the early days of their development, whether physically, mentally or emotionally.

The problem is that people mostly - without proper guidance and mentorship - end up living by the rules dictated to them by those knots. Its just like an athlete quitting his career because he has a muscle spasm that's affecting his motion, whenever he moves he gets pain. What makes sense to do is to fix that spasm, and carry on, not let the spasm define how his career will move.

Same thing happens with emotional or mental traumas. You usually see a lot of people living by the law of a reaction to something that took place in their childhood, and it is usually an anomaly in human nature that makes them "extreme" one way or the other. It is also usually associated to the level of mental capacity, or that lack it.. examples are Numerous! 

Who doesn't have an extreme playboy in their social circle? or an extremely jealous person? or someone who puts extreme importance to image and looks? or someone always in need to be the center of any conversation and starts doing weird shit when they're not?

And once you're annoyed by such extreme behavioral attributes, you end up asking "Why are those people taking themselves too seriously?"

Well, that's because everyone needs to zoom out and recognize the Comedy of it all, of this life. Reality is we're only here for a short time, and we are the main character in our play, we are the ones with control on how this gets lived and experienced, and we are the owners of our own reactions to what happens to us in it.

Comedy is everywhere, whether be it a day going wrong and you being stubborn enough to make sure it ends well, or in a piece of humor you choose to watch or listen to, that makes your laughing muscles work, your hormones of happiness flowing, and you know what? It ain't all that bad, is it? Don't worry too much, if you don't love it, don't live it, simple.

And if you don't love it, get help, and most of the time, getting help means facing the fact that you might be the problem, and you might be the solution. You will need to dig deep and be honest with yourself all the damn time! To know if you're living a reaction to a "knot", and blind to that fact, or you really exploring and trying to love, live, and be PRESENT, make some impact, be useful, not a nuisance.

Again, and as always, I'm talking to myself, reminding myself, nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes and become assholes sometimes, but we just need constant reminders.

To another time.
