If a man takes off his sunglasses I can hear him better.
Hugh Prather
Image
I can't be found in myself I discover myself in others. That much is clear. And I suspect that I also love and care for myself in others.

True humor is fun - it does not put down, kid, or mock. It makes people feel wonderful, not separate, different, and cut off. True humor has beneath it the understanding that we are all in this together.
