There are folks out there who will socially shame others for being off color. I for one cannot be socially shamed and don't tailor my speech to fit their acceptance. Yeah, some folks are serious and the reasons are varied. Laughter has a place and is great medicine when sprinkled...perhaps like the sugar to help us accept the things we can't stomach. Good article.
A rare trait today!
Also like sugar, should there be moderation?
