I think you nailed it, Lee. The original post here was one of those email pass arounds, sent to me my a very intelligent, very caring, very aware friend. As I was reading it, I found myself laughing until the witness in me said "wait a minute, what am I doing? Why am I laughing at this?" Is our human nature such that we can find the mistakes and misfortunes of others so laughable? Taking ourselves too seriously can be a pitfall, true. But why do we laugh? Like the Darwin Awards, maybe it brings us to that part of our own nature that is prone to mistakes, the archetype of misstep, and we can then laugh at ourselves, and not take ourselves too seriously. There...maybe this is how we arrive at compassion.
