Normally I am supposed to pick a philosophical idea we have studied this year in class. But I think I have got this one down. A new essential question to life, what brings people together? Most people would say peace is what brings people together but how do we achieve peace? Easy through someone's funny bone. Comedy is the way to bring people together. When people are laughing they are not fighting.
This play that was playing at the Merrimack Repertory Theatre from April 24- May 18 and it gives the complete history of comedy from the origin of the great,"Why did the chicken cross the road?" to the art of slapstick. But there was a deeper meaning at the end of the play, and it was as stated above, that if you're laughing then you can't be fighting.
Comedy is a special artwork, yes people have different types of humor, but it is all the same, the message of the show is that, we are all human, and humans all need a laugh, when we all laugh together, we unite as one and we have a common achievement in laughter.
Even though we are all different, when we laugh, we are one, and when the world laughs as one, then and only then will the world know what peace is.
