Seething has become America’s favorite pastime. Old-timers talk of something called, “fun” that was part of the human experience. We used to throw baseballs, catch fish, race automobiles, or play cards but now we just seethe. The latest scandal irks us. Politicians are corrupt. Our neighbors are jerks. Our family is insufferable. The world has climbed into a hand basket and we know where that’s headed. So we seethe.

It feels good for awhile. For a short time, seething seems virtuous. It feels like we’re defying injustice. We believe anger pushes back evil. We’re convinced that raging against wickedness is righteousness. But righteousness doesn’t last long when it’s soaked in seething outrage. Righteousness dissolves leaving bitterness in its place.

The only thing bitterness is good for is ruining a cup of coffee. Seething bitterness erodes every good thing it touches. It will not peacefully coexist with happiness. The first thing seething bitterness does when it comes into a room is grab joyfulness by the throat and bludgeon it into a coma.

Too many humanoids are trying to survive with comatose joyfulness. Maybe you’re one of those hapless people. It’s been months (or years or centuries or never) since you’ve laughed. A cloud of dread hovers over your head and rains on every one of your parades. Nothing in the world is funny.

I’d tell you to “cheer up” but it wouldn’t do any good. The solution to constant seething is a healthy sense of humor and that requires more than a chipper command to “be happy.” Developing a healthy sense of humor is hard work. You’re going to need some professional assistance.

Fortunately for you, there’s me!

I’ve been professionally funny for over 30 years and I’m feeling a heavy responsibility to pass the power of comedy on to you. Humor is a super-power. Sadness, anxiety, frustration, fear, and seething anger are no match for a beefed-up sense of humor. Laughter changes everything. It’s time for everything to change.

I’m hosting the ‘Comedy Round Table‘ on Wednesday night. This is a comedy workshop designed to teach you how to improve your sense of humor. It’s completely free for members of my comedy clique. If you haven’t become a member yet…what’s wrong with you? Go get a membership. And don’t just get the free membership. Chip in a few bucks so I can keep doing this. Otherwise, I’m gonna be flipping burgers instead of slinging jokes.

Of course, you’re free to exercise your autonomy and skip the workshop. But if you’re just going to keep on seething, then you’re making a mistake. If you ignore seething bitterness for too long, it will eventually become your entire personality.

If you plan to skip the workshop AND you’re NOT seething, then forward this link to a seething loved one. When they learn to be funnier it will make Thanksgiving more pleasant for your entire family. You will have made the world a better place to live.

And…if you’re not seething but you’d like to learn some humor tips from a straight-up, legitimate, professional comedian so that YOU can wield laughter like a flamethrower that torches despair, unhappiness, and suffering wherever you find it; here’s the link – https://johnbranyan.com/members-homepage/video-conferences/
