mmmm ... yes and no. Examples can be long. But as to the point itself, the shorter it is, the better the chances of it being understood.
EG: Motion - The Automobile is a curse
My main point:
Since the dawn of civilisation. mankind has strived to seek more and more comvenient means of locomotion. The Automobile is just a manifestation of that quest.
Examples
There can be many here. People will read so long as they see that the examples are all going to lead logically to my main point mentioned above.

You decide which sounds better and more readable
1. The per capita growth of the income of the Santhal tribes of Shantiniketan have seen a marked growth since their depiction by Satyajit Ray in the Bengali movie "Agantuk"
2. Who would have thought that the result of Oscar winner Satyajit Ray and Utpal Dutta joining hands in "Agantuk" would result in, among other things, an improvement in the livelihood of the Santhal tribes aroiund Shantiniketan.
I doubt if I have been able to ably convey my intent.
By humour, I don't mean slapstick comedy. I mean a touch of the conversttional tone, a whisper of humour, all of which make the reading experience so much more rewarding
Would you have seen and enjoyed Chaplin's Modern Times if it were not based on a comedy. And such a serious message it is too?
