A quotation from Cleese, John

I’m struck by how laughter connects you with people. It’s almost impossible to maintain any kind of distance or any sense of social hierarchy when you’re just howling with laughter. Laughter is a force for democracy.

John Cleese (b. 1939) English comedian, actor, screenwriter, producer
The Human Face, 01×02 “Here’s Looking at You!” BBC TV (2001-03-14)

[...] Auf jeden Fall schwächt das für unsere reiche #Gesellschaft beschämende Massenphänomen von Kindesvernachlässigung den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt. Denn vernachlässigte Kinder erleben sich selbst als so bedürftig, dass sie das Wohl ihrer Mitmenschen gar nicht mehr empathisch erfassen können. Aber auch Politikerinnen und Medien reden mehr darüber, wie wir diese Jugendlichen wieder loswerden und härter bestrafen können als darüber, welche sozialen Prozesse zu einem solchen Gewaltphänomen führen. Und wie man diese Entwicklungen schon in der frühen Kindheit begrenzen kann.

A quotation by Tolkien, J.R.R.

And the host laughed and wept, and in the midst of their merriment and tears the clear voice of the minstrel rose like silver and gold, and all men were hushed. And he sang to them, now in the Elven-tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness.

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) English writer, fabulist, philologist, academic [John Ronald Reuel Tolkien]
The Lord of the Rings, Vol. 3: The Return of the King, Book 6, ch. 4 “The Field of Cormallen” (1955)

An Anatomy of Shock

When a person tries to interact with another, there is usually one or more behaviours involved. This can involve physical and emotional behaviours. In order to apply the interaction one, or both, people (we’re talking about only two people to keep it simple) need to open themselves up and make themselves vulnerable to experience that interaction.
