"Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow." ~ Oscar Wilde


I come across serious people everyday.

It is necessary to distinguish between serious people and sincere people. I am very fond of the latter.

Serious people simply don't understand that life is beyond seriousness. They are only going to end up being very sadly frustrated.

Not only that they are serious about their lives. They seriously comment and concern about others' lives. If people only causally jive about others' lives, they're only nosy. But serious people shove it further; they want you to become just like them and be serious.

Seriousness is an essential component of social movements. Who can take the image of the leader bursts out laughing amid the great march towards a better future? All social activists, to me, are serious people.

So serious people have a future, and are dreamers. People who are not so serious, like myself, live relatively animal lives.

Serious people want you to become part of them. But we laugh.

Seriousness might be one of the most laughable human phenomena.

People who can laugh never have the heart to convince serious people to start laughing, we just simply laugh.

Why so serious?!
