Question:If so I really dont get the punchline Do you?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If so I really dont get the punchline Do you?

sometimes, mostly when I'm stoned, I think that I'm on a Truman Show kinda thing.

I sometimes wonder if it is all a dream, and death is the awakening, but I dunno.

I don't think there is a punchline. It's probably one of those running gags.

Yes, sometimes. But when u r spriually driven, it starts to look less like a joke and more like a chance to accomplish something ie-personal spiritual development.

It is a joke. It is a joke. Would you get it? I got it. It is a joke. That's the punchline. Life's a joke. So that it is. The punchline. So that it is. A joke. Laugh! Ha! That's the punchline. Ha!

'God is a comedian, playing to an audience too frightened to laugh'

Yes. The joke is. You became great. You have struggled hard and suffered many hardships. You have achieved everything through your hard work; wealth, health, soulmate, greatness. Then 40 years later, YOU DIE!

Oh yeah, It is a big joke.

Sometimes.

Yes, I do get the punchline.

You are it. This is it. Enjoy it.

well, here's something i read in a book once....
''LIFE IS A COMEDY FOR THOSE WHO THINK, A TRAGEDY FOR THOSE WHO FEEL...''

I don't ever wonder if life itself is a joke. I would have to understand all of it first to get to that conclusion. But the way we humans live our life, that's a different matter.
If we live an erroneous life forever seeking something to make us feel just right. If we are self centred and love only the things we choose and hate things that don't fit in with our thinking. If we chase after power and wealth in the hope it will somehow give us what we seek be it power or some ideal form of security. If when pushed over an issue we will kill others to maintain our madness, war!
Then i would say that is all madness, a joke.
The punchline would be not to realise this until ones last breath.

sometimes...

It's not very funny...I think it's more like a test. But we're still searching for the answers.

Life....[wondering]...Of course it is.....Why aren't you laughing!
Because its a bad joke....Would you laugh if it was a good one.
Life is not a JOKE!!! Good jokes tho', can make your life better.

If you don't get the punchline...


...it's because you ARE the punchline.

Oh, I think it is a huge joke...I sometimes think God is laughin his butt off.

not a day goes by without enjoyin jokes but life is not a joke

I AM REAL... LIFE IS REAL...LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT....
