Today the sixth person told me to venture into stand up comedy. I laughed over it because I found it amusing simply because all my jokes revolve around harsh criticism. But here's the thing, criticism always revolve around facts. Facts come from simple observation. We laugh about it because it is true and everything points right at the clown in the room. It becomes funny because everyone agrees to the fact simply being pointed out.
There are also people who get offended by it because the truth pill is also very often quite hard to swallow. I mean, lets be real. Knowing that you are fat and being called fat makes a lot of difference because at the end the day, we are our own biggest critique. We are the 'Anton Ego' in our life. (Yes, I just quoted a Pixar movie.) But, hearing it from a third person somehow justifies the criticism of yourself. You realize that people also agree with your criticism. That is when you feel hurt because that is not something you like about yourself.
So back to the part about me doing comedy. I love comedy! I love cracking puns and making people laugh but how much truth can people actually take? How much real criticism can people actually accept before they snap and point the gun at you and call you offensive? That's why I always joke about people behaviour and attitude and leave out the parts where it could be offensive to whoever I am talking to. It is a skill but at this world now, every fucking thing is offensive.
So yes, its funny when you talk to people who can take it. Its offensive when people can't. Simple as that. I am not saying change yourself and stop being mad at things, but if you came here to read this and miraculously offended by it, you fucking asked for it.
So go away. I don't need you.
