Joke
Recently, someone said on the tv
"When a joke is targetted at someone, but that person is not laughing, it is no longer a joke. It is a verbal assualt."
I really raised both hands and legs to agree on the above. Many times, there are just these cases whereby people can get so carried away poking fun at someone and be sure they will never feel apologetic but only know how to brush off the other party's offended feeling by claiming that it is only a joke. At times I do agree that it could be the said victim is petty but whatever it is, is it that important to carry on a joke even that really upset someone. Is this joke really still funny when it is torturing a person or wearing away someone's patience. Is it not funny only when this person suddenly just drop dead due to high blood pressure?
Certain jokes can really be carried too far and these jokers just find it a pleasure by laughing at their own jokes which is similar to digging grave. Yes, yours faithfully, me often fell victim to this kind of joke and it only taught me try not to be too kind to others, orelse you will be repay by being the laughing stock of some pathetic joke.
When people tells me "aiyah, if dislike you then won't even talk to you, treat you as friend then joke with you." I only come to learn that, people do not need to apologise for offending you, but you still have to feel bad for feeling upset! Not that I am trying to hint anyone about anything, just want to vent out what I have been bottling up. I am also someone who likes to make people happy, so maybe I have to blame myself to be treated like clown for this.
