I prefer the light touch. If we took things less seriously, I feel we'd all be better off. Humor has gotten me through many a tough time and even at the funeral home during calling hours of my father, I saw his friends laughing and joking w/each other. I considered it a positive testimony to my dad and to being human. We're a strong, resilient species if we allow ourselves to be and being serious certainly doesn't lend to that. I'll take humor any day, no matter what the circumstances, and if it offends me, I'll do some inner work to discover why, rather than wonder why others don't react the way I expected.
