Humour Amour

It has been some time since I wrote on my blog. What exactly has happened these days gave me a feeling that I might have been understanding too hard, working too hard, playing too hard, etc too hard. It would have been easier if I’m not myself. Well, life is harsh! – in the sense where I naturally and happily reflect upon myself and the world, all the time!

If 10,000 hours is what you need to claim expertise or a solid foundation (on any field), I think I should be quite enlightened by now. Again, life is tough. Where will you go from a Ferris wheel? 360° and you think there are still so much to explore; on one hand, you thought you might have seen enough. Then, everyone comes back to square one.

Life is harsh, tough and I guess a little bit weird. What you think, feel, and understand might all come to a contradictory end. Dilemmas accompanying. Your right hand makes it all right; your left hand is completely not applicable. And this is what I’m trying to look after, the gap between you and yourself; the gap between you and your beloved; the gap between the world and itself, and of course me and myself.

Will it be us making things “too hard” that create these gaps? Well, if so, a sense of humour might be our tool to bridge the gap.

When it comes to humour, I recommend Viktor E. Frankl, Woody Allen, and Bill Shankly. These are some greatest people in their fields and often delight people with their witty words. And it is behind their quotes that I try to understand life on another wheel. A wheel (without a name) of true wisdom riding on a dynamic life.

Finally I wish to share one quote from Bill Shankly with you:
“The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they don’t know the game.”
