Is humor only associated with cathartic, uplifting, healing process or is there a dark side to humor. We do tend to laugh when we are bitter or angry even sometimes, or should i say smile caustically. Makes me wonder.
Gina, I too find the word sadism , a tad bit too strong... but yeah like I mentioned during our conv... brutal is more a word I'd use and well... thinking of brutal... it makes me wonder that humor... whether a lighthearted one or a sardonic or in anyform is jus not limited to the mortals but is inherent to the nature and to the divine and the devil themselves....
Life does have a cruel sense of humor , we often heard people say... but it makes me wonder... that this sense of humor is not of life itself but of the divine and devil....which transcends into all that they control and create...
For a sense of humor that can be brutal would be associated with one who would smile in glee , at something brutal... a grosteque mutilation of any physical form or spirit or the soul and one would can imagine him to be the devil's incarnate himself... for such evil glee can be associated with the devil himself... who smiles and laughs in glee watching innocent victims fall prey to his spells...!
