People trying too hard to be cool often end up becoming a JOKE.

Be with someone who has a good sense of humor so that the two of you can sit down and laugh together at the joke that your lives are.

I wonder if one of the greatest lessons of our generation will be that ironic detachment is not an inherently neutral stance; that humor is not necessarily benevolent; that viewing anything and everything as a joke doesn't make you stronger or wiser, but exactly the opposite.

If the same joke doesn't make you laugh again and again, then why let the same thought make you cry again and again.
