Rockclimbing competition, last out of the bunch of people who reached to the top. 10th placing. Technical error somewhere, so I may be 11th. Definitely took my time to climb. First time I cleared the roof area as well. What would be the chances of that?
Strength, determination, technique, endurance. Can't ever forget luck. That's the most important among all other abilities.
It's very interesting how I can keep generating new jokes. For now, I am just dumbfounded how the brain understands humor and knows when to laugh or stone or get aggravated at a joke. It's interesting how we understand a no-link joke from a random one, a lame joke from a cold one, a funny one from a technical one.
How can our brains actually achieve that kind of thinking such that it produces a joke that people elsewhere do understand? Language is nurtured from young, that possibly can say that since we've been living so long eventually we'll understand each other.
But jokes? Why is it that when you tell someone, they do get it and become affected by it? Excluding the ones that don't get the jokes.
I guess this is another capability of the human brain. Psychology of a joke. If anything, I would love if our next psychology project was on the understanding of why a joke is so called.
Humor and human's ability to comprehend that. In fact, generalizing over to a broader aspect, emotions as well. Why do we feel sadness, happiness, joy, depression, satisfaction, hopelessness and the rest of the array of emotions?
Sometimes, for myself, "just because" doesn't work. Why does a human need to feel sadness, express it and have it? What works of life have unto we not touched?
Sometimes I appreciate sadness because it is a break from trying to smile.
