▲Human being Silly◄

Sometimes we as human beings, act silly. I don't know how to explain it but before we say something silly or do something silly, the only thing we can be sure of is that we don't have any control over it. Is part of our nature, I think.


You get to a point where you don't think and just go with the flow, you don't analyze your future actions (or words); the mind loses control of the core, your emotions. Is like when you're driving knowing the road is straight, suddenly you decide to take the nearest exit, just for fun. Sometimes we just take those turns.

Humor is a distinguishing mark on people. I don't think we can catalog it as bad or good. Cause that depends on the timing and situation; trust in a relationship between two people. Humor finds a way to cause a brake, make a difference. Bring a smile, maybe? Break a wall?

Lately, I'm learning how to spot an opening, and I feel like I can actually stop, pause everything, and think my next move, if I realize it could offend the people on the room or contradict one of my principles, I opt to remain quiet, do nothing; just keep driving straight, even though it could be real funny. That's something I've learned recently.  I find it easier to avoid making mistakes by following an algorithm, and everytime I break that pattern, it reminds me it's just regular human behavior, nothing special.

The only thing I can add is that if you see an opening, if you remember a thought, quote, action that falls in to an act or idea that exhibits properties of being silly, go for it but do it with a purpose, conviction and be ready to stand for it. Don't do it just to imitate what you saw/heard, that will just add a zero to the left. That is the difference between funny and embarrassment. Between winning and loosing. Between living and dying!  (Ok, I'm exaggerating,  I'm just being silly. Yes, I know).


And as I go back to these moments, I can only smile and wonder what was I thinking at that time; what I did. And you know what (What?), I can never find a good answer. I just try to forget about it, especially if it turned out to be an act or idea that exhibited properties of being stupid.
