Let's laugh at ourselves!

Life is not about "laughing at someone, but laughing with someone." We often make fun of people we come across in parks, on roads, in offices, in parties, etc. As child we loved laughing at the weakest colony kid, when in school, we mocked the habits of our classmates, as an adult, we chose more happening places to target people for our fun like parties and social gatherings. The things continued and now the favourite hot-spot for laughing and having fun is in our office.

The famous cartoonist, Mario Miranda, once pointed out saying that, "Most Indians have this habit of making fun of people and considering themselves as  the perfect being on earth." He is right to an extent as we have often noticed and analysed such situations giving way for enjoyment to the person on one side and breaking the confidence of the person on other side of the line.

Why not concentrate on our own habits and weaknesses? It may not only let you accept your short-comings in a constructive manner, but also save many others from becoming the victim of such embarrassing situations of being laughed at. Life throws at you various funny to serious situations. Choose them wisely and make sure that no one feels hurt in the process. Be the best critic of yourself first before pointing a finger at the one who is in a weaker position than you at a given point of time.

Let's together learn to laugh at ourselves or even better, laugh 'with' someone. Watsay?
