15 Posts That Manage To Be Both Sad And Funny At The Same Time
The r/FunnyandSad online community on Reddit is all about the confounding, chaotic, and confusing way that sadness and laughter are combined. It was established in November 2013 and has since expanded to become a community with about 700k members.
The subreddit does exactly what it says on the box and compiles articles from across the internet that are both humorous and depressing. It will demonstrate to you that life is far more complex and nuanced than the black-and-white we're used to seeing on the news and on social media.
Is it laughing through tears, or is it sobbing as you laugh? The emotional system is complicated. Anyone would agree that laughing feels wonderful and melancholy feels horrible. The human mentality, however, is considerably more nuanced than that, and nothing is ever truly black or white. We should embrace sadness rather than avoid it because it is a very natural aspect of life. We can't all be giddy and joyful all the time, after all (I would know, I tried). And while experiencing sadness may even have some advantages, such as enhancing memory and judgment, becoming caught in negative thought patterns and unending cycles of grief isn't good for our mental health.
Life can't always be rainbows, daisies, sunlight, and adorable kitten pictures. You can't escape experiencing some misery, anguish, and embarrassing situations in life, which eventually make you desire to live as a recluse in the woods.
