Understanding that Humor is Understanding

[TurkeyOnRye]

Humor is the playful interaction of symbols. It is a game of matching symbols. Level of humor is determined by accuracy of representation and level of suggestion by the receiver.

Humor is understanding;
it is the understanding of what is given
but not shown.

It is in moments of humor
that we are really understanding
one another.
In these moments,
our mindsets
are exactly the same

Understanding is
the moment at which
the symbol triggers
the cognition of the signified
in another.

Laughter
is one of many reactions
to understanding.

Laughter is
the body's physiological response
to the playful mood.
The purpose of laughter
is to perpetuate humor.
Since understanding is
the essence of humor,
the point of laughter is
to perpetuate
understanding.

Very well worded as well as riddled.... I too have the understanding that humor is understanding. The more one understands the grater the capasity to see anomally and illuminate the dark as well muddle with the light.
