Will the philosopher & comedian in you

2024 Sep 28

Stand up please

 

 

Philosophers and comedians make a strange pair

They approach from opposite ends, are observant and make you think

 

The philosopher zooms-out to the grand view, the comedian zooms-in to the ordinary

The philosopher helps you rationalise, the comedian makes you laugh. One strings, other unravels

They are best friends when two beers down.

 

It is said, as you see, so is the world

A perception

 

If you can help make sense and ignite hope, when it is running low in fellow beings

If you can be the clown, when people are down and make their burden light

You uncover the philosopher – comedian in you

Brings you home to who you are – human and special!

 

Hmm…

Soon, you will have forgotten everything.

Soon, everybody will have forgotten you.

Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor, Stoic philosopher

 

 

I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.

Lily Tomlin, American actress & entertainer
