You Gotta Laugh

Life keeps coming at you and it is typically not smiling.
Most of what you have to deal with is stuff you'd rather not deal with.
Happiness does not come at you; happiness happens.
But not often enough.
Insanity is a pleasant escape but most of us don't have the stomach
for certifiable and permanent insanity.
Temporary insanity is only a tease.
Most of us do not have the physical constitution for eternal anger.
That kind of anger, that bitterness, grinds you down.
You have to be a special kind of person to be angry every minute
of every day.
You gotta laugh.
When life kicks your legs out from under you, you gotta laugh.
Laughter makes you feel good even when you don't feel good.
Laughter confuses life.
You have to keep life off balance to have even a shot at winning.
When you can laugh at the dark, you win a battle.
If you can look life in the eye, in its sinister, soul sucking eye,
and laugh - you buy yourself another moment of existence.
