Summary

This quote suggests that both humor and irony serve as tools for understanding, but they differ in their effects. Humor brings insight and tolerance by infusing a situation with lightheartedness and amusement, enabling us to view it from a different perspective and accept its flaws. On the other hand, irony brings a more profound understanding which may be less amicable. It involves a sense of mockery and contradiction, forcing us to confront the inherent contradictions and hypocrisies that exist within a given situation. By provoking a less friendly understanding, irony can challenge our preconceived notions and compel us to examine the deeper complexities of the world.

We pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free. Tom Robbins Before you give up hope, turn back and read the attacks that were made on Lincoln.
