Humor

Oscar Wilde said "Seriousness is the Refuge of the shallow", funny of him to say that, hell he was an artist. Humor is the only act of defense a man knows in the civilized of a world that we live in today. An insecurity that dwells in most minds of average intelligence that they will never be on top and will always have people ahead of them. Yet they aren't last too and are smarter than as many number of people. It really is a funny feeling not to be able to see your self in the shades of black and white and it really gets to you. "How do you hide this mediocrity". Those not so capable plead stupid and wear that title gladly and proudly. While the smart are too busy changing the world and fulfilling their potential, they never suffer from an identity crisis. When you are good; it shows. How does one walk among these men; my fellow mediocres with an identity; a name. How do you explain this limited capability to people convinced that its your fault that you have limitations; well, there comes humor. A medium that shields you against all pointing fingers ("well hey, four are still pointing at you") and all questioning eyes ("would you please stop checking me out, its embarrassing"). You can voice your insecurities, insult, avenge, snitch, ditch, annoy, hurt, abuse, or maybe dump too (most horrible of them all) in the name of humor and get away. We live in the age of mediocrity where competence is either lots of money or just a big burden. Only these two reasons can justify a man not having a sense of humor.
