(I may be unfunny the 2nd time around though, so I will try to add more humor. (Note 2 self & others: I IMHO, said try, lol.)<br />It is getting 2 B more difficult (changed from "harder", because some people might take that(the word "harder") as a sexual connotation lol) today (or yesterday or tomorrow 2) 2 MOTIVATE an audience to trust their OWN instincts and intuitions, because so many people are afraid 2 b themselves, ie b vulnerable. Instead so many people wnat 2 B sure that they LAUGH "appropriately"! Maybe they are afraid of being sued for politically incorrect laughter- it may only b a matter of time B 4 that is a new "law" on "the books"! It seems that except 4 those who risk to B vulnerable like me and hopefully U who R writing and reading @ and R supporters of emotional vulnerability most of us are so afraid of people judging what we are laughing about, i.e., there is so much that is deemed, or generally considered 2 B politically incorrect, that we have almost EXCHANGED our intuitions and our instincts for EXTERNAL approval! I GIVE MYSELF the approval 2 laugh WHENEVER my instincts and intuition MOVE ME 2 laugh. I say 2 myself: "Who cares if others JUDGE me, because I prefer 2 laugh and it is good 4 my health (more oxygen) and my digestion 2 (also more oxygen intake!Barbara Todishhttp://www.trainradio.blogspot.com/2011/06/barbara-todish-banned-from-academia-and.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46744437244392305.post-4523442993166186152011-07-20T02:07:35.890-04:002011-07-20T02:07:35.890-04:00It is getting to be harder and harder to even allo...It is getting to be harder and harder to even allow yourself to BE vulnerable.Have you noticed that even when you laugh at something that you INTUITIVELY and INSTINCTUALLY feel is funny, that people will JUDGE YOU! I noticed this because I do stand up comedy and I ALWAYS seem to be the first to laugh anymore at CERTAIN jokes! AFTER I laugh then it seems others laugh but it seems that almost everyone is AFRAID to be the first person to laugh! So it is getting harder and harder for a comedian todiay to get laughter, and I believe it is because we are alal so afraid of people JUDGING what we are laughing about, i.e., there is so much that is politicall incorrect we hardly are in touch with our real INSTINCTUAL and INTUITIVE emotions so it is hard to AUTHENTICALLY TRUST our own INSTINCTS and INTUITIONS TO LAUGH! I believe because I have ALLOWED myself to be EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE for a long time, I AM ABLE to TRUST my instincts and my intuitions about what is truly funny. In other words,I TRUST that I will only laugh, namely that I only ALLOW myself, guided by my instincts and intuition, TO laugh if there is a communication that involves SURPRIZE as opposed to laughing when there is bullying, ie any power imbalance involved in what is being communicated.Barbara Todishhttp://www.trainradio.blogspot.com/2011/06/barbara-todish-banned-from-academia-and.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46744437244392305.post-34470883779240475942011-07-19T01:19:02.527-04:002011-07-19T01:19:02.527-04:00Amen! xoAmen! xoSara Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058056977783867772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46744437244392305.post-89252898035561626092011-06-25T13:52:56.231-04:002011-06-25T13:52:56.231-04:00You have an amazing heart.
