Morning Coffee – 09/08/2016

As I watch the Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe, I can’t help but laugh. I enjoy insult humour. Making fun of people is hilarious. Especially if they can laugh at themselves, and not take things personally. Because after all, the jokes aren’t about the person. The humour comes from the amplified image, and the amplified reputation, which comes with being a celebrity, or a public figure.

It’s important to remember that if you have the opportunity to laugh at yourself, take it. In an era where everyone is concerned with self-image, we need to remember that sometimes humour can keep us accountable for our actions. It can be a positive experience if done correctly.

It is easy to react defensively when somebody challenges your image, your actions, your art, your philosophy. Instead, try to embrace it, engage, and enjoy it. After all, the best jokes usually arise from truths. So let’s get real.
