The Role of Humor in Times of Crisis
Humor is seen as the ultimate freedom according to philosophers like Berksen and Boccaccio highlighted the presence of laughter in the darkest times. Laughter is powerful as it robs pain of its power, unlike crying or getting angry which can give power to others. It is a unique emotion that diminishes the impact of suffering, making the oppressor lose their control. By laughing in the face of adversity, individuals can reclaim their power and turn the tables on those causing harm.
