In my quest for the enjoyment of life, I stumbled upon aconundrum. If a person makes a bad joke or pun, do you laugh?
Yes, there are actually two sides to this. Why would you want to laugh at something that isn't all that funny or would bring you down to that level if you laugh at it? I figure that if laughter is such great medicine, perhaps we should laugh every chance we get. You can spend a lot of time seriously waiting for a high-brow joke to come along, or you can laugh at every opportunity. That is, as long as you're not laughing at someone who doesn't want to be laughed at.
I have come to the conclusion that it is very important to enjoy life. One must carpe diem I suppose to enjoy it. I know that the only way to come to enjoyment is to take some risks. (I never did see Along Came Polly)
The nature of hmanity is not one being fundamentally evil or good. The worst disasters can bring out the best in people. But humanity has to be adequately prepared. Are we prepared?

It's about time! What's the alternative, anyway?
