“May we like it or not, we are cast products. Our moulds are the society that surrounds us, and our shape reminds us of the stereotypic opinions of the mass.
Our jokes, the phrases we say, our gesticulation, and even our shame are overly hidden in the socially accepted form. For me, it is somewhat funny to poke the social humour so that the moulds we are made of get loosened. Practicing sarcasm is one excellent way to crack the moulds open and to cheat the gravity of thoughts and understanding. It gives us flexibility as unique human beings with our own expression. ”
“不管是否乐意,
我们都是被铸造的产物。
社会环境是铸造我们的模具,我们的模样反映出社会定式。
我们开的玩笑、我们说的话、我们做的动作,甚至我们的羞耻,全都包裹在能被社会接纳的形式中。对我来说有趣的是,当我们挑动社交幽默,我们的铸模就会松动一点。讽刺以一种巧妙的方式打开束缚我们的铸模并抵抗固有思维的重力,从而给予了我们作为独立个体进行自我表达的空间。”
