You know, despite what people see of me in public most of the time, I consider myself to be very depressed, detached and apathetic. And I probably sound rather pessimistic as a result. But I began to think about it earlier today... You'd think that someone as down in the dumps as I am wouldn't be able to see the good in anything. But I don't think so. I think it's the stark contrast that allows me to see even the most minute good in something, which is where a lot of my jokes come from. I see opportunities to make some good out of something that most probably would have overlooked to focus on the more obvious things.
While I can't say that that makes me happy, I can still hope that I can deliver some positive entertainment for others. I just thought I'd point out that one things doesn't necessarily beget the same, and doesn't necessarily have to effect you personally. Opposites attract, after all. Or it could even work like karma... The potential that I have for feeling good and happy has to go somewhere if I am unable to draw in positive energies to myself.
It makes for a complex existence, anyway.
