Holistic Comedy

[Thewritersunion]

How do you make a joke while 

1) not deceiving yourself/ encourage of group. Also not isolate people through comedy.

2) maximize love. (In general. And in detail (aka making fun of disabled people, feminists, etc)

Wouldn't it be a much better question to ask whats the purpose of jokes or comedy in the first place? Restricting Comedy by makeing it more inclusive, while ironically makeing it exclusive toward people that do non incluseve comedy kinda misses the point. 

Comedy gives us the ability to make us aware of the absurdety and paradoxes in life, if you corrupt it with alterior motives it stops beeing comedy.

The most holistic thing one could do is to take oneself less serious and learn to laugh about his own shortcomesings and flaws.

Listen to your authentic self to tell you if the joke is appropriate to the situation/person or not. And don't dish it if you can't take it. 

Jokes only hurt others when they take it personally or tugs at an emotional string that the joke teller should have used discretion not to tug at, at least at that point in time or in a certain way. Theres a boundary sometimes. And I'm a big fan of dark humor.
