Humour Can Be A Double-Edged Blade
Funny how humour can be such a double-edged blade. We use it to connect with others, get acquainted with strangers... but at the same time, we use it as a shield of defence, as a way to protect ourselves from being hurt.
What is it about putting up a front that appeals to us so much? Why are we so afraid to reveal whom we really are? Are we afraid of being embarassed? Or are we simply afraid of being hurt? (Because we have been hurt so many times before)
Maybe it's because that's the only way we can feel safe - by hiding behind an invisible wall. Hoping that no one will ever find out, yet desperately hoping someone will just tear it down.
