Gaining a humorous perspective requires self-awareness, the ability to see the irony and paradox in things and to reassert what is truly important.

True humor also draws on conscience so that it is genuinely uplifting and doesn’t fall into the counterfeit of cynicism or putting people down.

.

Humor is also the humanizer and equalizer in relationships.

【明報專訊】18歲的廣州殘疾乞丐龔忠誠，因患小兒麻痹症雙腿嚴重退化，只能靠雙手走路。汶川地震龔忠誠前後4次向災區捐款，合計金額上百元。他的幾張捐款照片在網上被瘋狂傳播，網友為之動容，稱他「史上最感人乞丐」。

小兒麻痹 靠手走路

《廣州日報》報道，汶川地震爆發後，廣州華樂街支援抗震救災募捐活動中，一個用手走路的乞丐來到現場說「我要捐款」。他從碗中掏出幾個硬幣，因行動不便請警察幫他捐款，警察似乎覺得他捐錢意義不同，堅持讓他親手捐。他從口袋掏出幾十元放在募捐箱，兩天後他又來到捐贈現場，把身上約十元零錢投入捐款箱，前後四次捐款合計百多元，估計龔忠誠每次都將當天乞討所得全部拿出。

人肉搜尋 僅兩小時尋獲

中國好人網和華南師範大學部分師生志願者約百人前日發起「尋找向汶川地震災區捐款的好殘疾乞丐」活動。活動開始僅兩小時，志願者就在廣州站南路附近找到這名殘疾乞丐。龔忠誠14歲時隨父親來到廣州開始行乞，目前他仍要每天乞討，供在家讀書的妹妹上學。

It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing.

The precise opposite is the case.

Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle–they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments.

…, knowing it is the light that is driving me. I used to think I was the artist when I was painting. I now see, since my NDE, that I am only the brush, my life experiences are the paint, my life is the painting, and the world is the studio with love as the subject.
