Introduction

You only need to open the daily newspaper to see how our world is absurd. You can be scared of what our future is going to be or you can take some distance and look at it with a smile as humor is probably the only way to survive the human stupidity.

About the Book

This book is made of over 70 short stories which seem at first to be crazy or absurd ...but when you think twice and look at the newspaper again you will see that the reality is even more crazy and absurd than the fiction.

The Power of Humor

But behind the funny situations and behaviors, humor is indeed a very 'serious' thing and certainly the closest to philosophy. You laugh first, then you start thinking and your laugh becomes a mirthless chuckle.

Reflection on the World

Yes, our world moves permanently between the extremes of the absurd: The comedy and the tragedy. And we, the unwitting passengers of our planet, have no choice other than to hold as best we can to survive, like someone clinging to the ropes of a swing trying to avoid being ejected.
