Life's lessons and then some...: My favourite sin

My favourite sin

Posted by Ahmed Mustafa , Monday, May 17, 2010 11:19 AM

Before your mind starts wandering into weird sexual freakishness....STOP right there! This post is NOT about me coming out with some hidden fetish...its about sarcasm.

I love sarcasm. Sarcasm to me is like a cherry topping on the perfect icecream sundae. The perfect joke with just the right amount of sting that gives a split second the amount of power to devastate and truly shock and awe the victim and leave them reeling.

I identify with sarcastic people in general, and this love for the wicked even extends to tv characters. Thats why my favourite character in everybody loves raymond is not raymond, but his miserly old sick-of-life-holy-crap father. Or the fact that my favourite character in Frasier is actually frasiers dad, or the-ill-put-my-foot-up-your-ass father in that 70s show.

The problem that ive been struggling with is this....does that make me a negative person? Is it just for fun or have i started literally living it in my everyday life? And if I have, how many people have i managed to hurt with this attitude? Or am I just overthinking things?

Nabeel Says:: Abeer, wit is also humor for smart people and doesn't need to be sarcastic. I think we tend to misunderstand sarcasm..it's commonly translated from 'tanz' and perhaps irony is a better word than sarcasm! Ahmed's right to be thinking about whether sarcasm may indicate cynicism...however irony need not be negative!; May 17, 2010 at 9:51 PM
Asad Shaykh Says:: No.
You're not negative Ahmed...
You just like wrinkly OLD men! ;-)
