In which Our Hero hypothesizes a virtuous cycle.
Maybe when I’m present, open, and giving to others, I acquire fewer regrets.
That would be a powerful feedback loop: the more I give of myself, the lighter I feel; the lighter I feel, the more I give.
At clown school, le jeu is about play — but it’s also about generosity. Not for applause, but because shared pleasure multiplies. Maybe that’s what being funny is. Or at least what being kind is.
(I’m working on a larger analysis that’s still half-baked. Please enjoy this musing while that cogitation continues to cook.)
