A truly humorous person is actually pessimistic.

Humor now seems to have deepened into a kind of personality charm, but all influential people or people who want to have influence are showing or learning the style and knowledge of this personality charm. Moreover, humor can not only increase fun and happiness, but also alleviate embarrassment and ugliness, which is really a very beneficial knowledge.

as we all know, whenever Chinese and foreign celebrities are concerned, there are always several humorous stories handed down from generation to generation, some of which are probably narrated according to the facts, but many of them are totally fabricated without regard to the facts. Generally speaking, people with great influence and popularity are all characterized by humor. Among literary celebrities, there are many humorous masters just in movies.

Needless to say, Charlie must be full of talent? Chaplin and Buster, who always has fantastic ideas? Keaton; Needless to say, Ernst with exquisite skills? Liu Bieqian and Woody, who was born with a tongue-tied? Allen; Not to mention even some humorous films made by Kurosawa with profound literary accomplishment and Kubrick with changeable and skillful style; Even Yasujirō Ozu, a great director who devoted his life to filming ordinary daily family life, imitated the comedy star Harold in his early years. Lloyd's style has made some humorous movies. These film directors have made light and interesting humorous films, and at the same time, they have also made very serious and profound films. Because humorous films are interesting, they have gained popularity, and because they have made serious themes, they have gained influence. From this, we should also understand that the real humor master is not only to please people, but also to arouse people's due concern.

We also know that humorous words are not only interesting, but also usually subtle or even profound, so they are different from straightforward jokes. So why is it better to speak implicitly than directly? This is because people will never learn lessons that are too frivolous, and people will always forget truths that are too simple. Only the intense and painful experience will make people grow more, and the implicit and mysterious truth will make people remember it deeper.

there is no doubt that the moral dogma that is used for propaganda all day is the weakest, and the witty philosophy that one's heart has learned is the most profound. China people have always appreciated the implicit beauty, China is a country of poetry, and China's ancient poetry has always sought a kind of "artistic conception" of "containing endless opinions beyond words", so China people absolutely understand the true meaning of humor.

What is humor? In fact, humor is contradiction. Because it is contradictory, it is meaningful, and because it is contradictory, it is interesting. Elegance and vulgarity, right and wrong, expensive and cheap, exterior and interior, ancient and modern, wisdom and stupidity, fantasy and reality, complexity and simplicity, etc., juxtaposing and linking these contradictory things and concepts will naturally produce a meaningful interest.

If you see two butterflies flying, the average person will sigh for the beauty and freedom, while the humorous person may say, "This is Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai dating", which is the contradiction between man and beast, male and female, and male and female. Those humorous masters naturally know that humor is contradiction, so in fact, people who are really humorous are actually pessimistic.

it's interesting because contradictions meet, and it's pessimistic because contradictions are insoluble. In the lush forest of literature, there are also many humorous masters, whose language is usually full of interest, but often it always shows a kind of sadness and helplessness. Mark? Twain, Natsume Soseki, Gogol and Lu Xun are all the same. If we carefully taste the worries and doubts expressed behind the interest of their works, people will always feel that their ideas about life and society are really pessimistic. There is no doubt that they regard fun as an attack on reality and humor as a mockery of pain. They are fighting writers and painful humorists.

I remember that Qian Zhongshu wrote in On Happiness: "Happiness in life is like a sugar cube that lures children to take medicine. A few minutes or days of happiness will earn us a lifetime." This is really a very pessimistic idea, which is almost the same as that expressed by Lu Xun's iron house metaphor, but they are the two most humorous literary masters in China in the last century. Lin Yutang was the most effective person in promoting humorous language in the Republic of China, but his writing was not as humorous as that of Lu Xun and Qian Zhongshu. I think this is because Lin Yutang is more optimistic than Lu Xun and Qian Zhongshu.

woody? Allen in Anne? The joke told at the beginning of Hall also proves the pessimism of people like him. "Two women in a mountain shelter, one said,' The food in this place is terrible' and the other said,' I think so, and the weight is so small'". Although he said in the movie that he is not a melancholy person and that he is a rational and happy person, we all know that this is just his self-mockery.

The world is full of contradictions, where there is laughter, there is bound to be sadness, and under the surface of order, there is also confusion, and the happiest people are bound to always suffer. In that case, why should we be so pessimistic? If hope does not exist, how can there be so-called despair?

When War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was in China, many scholars in China had to flee to Kunming, the rear area in the southwest, but there were more and more air raid alarms here. However, even though the dust raised by the bomb buried Hua Luogeng's whole body in the ground, even though the impact of the bomb destroyed Lin Huiyin's family's house into pieces, after that, these outstanding people could pretend to be a military expert and comment, "This bomb is not so good." What a miserable and unfortunate group, and what an optimistic and humorous group.

So, my friend, if you think you are an unfortunate person, be optimistic. If you think you are a pessimistic person, be humorous. Misfortune is a joke played by God, while humor is a joke played by us on misfortune.
