The title of this page may seem oxymoronic–and maybe it is– both oxymoronic AND moronic. Before I go any further, I want to be clear–in no way is this focus on humor meant to distract from the very real problems we face trying to solve this pandemic, nor is it meant to diminish the suffering and true losses so many are dealing with.
At the same time, for many people, humor is a critical coping mechanism. Both its creation and consumption.
Like all art, comedy requires a look outside and a look inside. It requires we step forward, investigate the truth, and then alter that truth into a new message. Laughing at the situation, at oneself, at a world we’ve created that has transformed itself more radically than anything most of us have known in our lifetimes, can be healing.
So, go on. Scroll down and have a laugh. It might make you feel better.
