Why do such statements make us laugh ?? Humans have this inherent nature to laugh at someone else's misery, someone else's shortcomings. If you open any joke book, 99% of all the jokes will be making fun of some one, some community or some situation. Lately jokes have even started cropping up on 9/11. How many times have we poked fun at someone at our workplace and had a good laugh .. not giving a damn about what the other person feels.

Would it be possible to have jokes that don't take a dig on someone?? It's a tough ask, no stand up comedian would exist if this were true. So let's accept the fact that you need to make fun of some other entity to have a good laugh and make you feel good.

A few great men who found this side of human psychology disturbing advised - "Learn to laugh at your own shortcomings, learn to laugh at your own miseries and you will find happiness."

According to this theory, if you are laughing the loudest, you should be the happiest. If you are the happiest, you are laughing at your own shortcomings and your own miseries. So, it logically follows that you have a huge number of shortcomings and you are tremendously miserable :P. Now that's a classic example of an oxymoron - How can you be so happy when you are so miserable ??

What was that ?? .. Do i see a slight grin on your face ? Bet you are one happy person :D
