Satire

sat·ire

ˈsaˌtī(ə)r/

noun

the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

Prologue

It doesn't take much to make fun of the modern workplace, hell it doesn't take much to make fun of a human being, but how can you not make fun of the world when there is so much to mock and criticize. Easy you eliminate the human factor. Yup, the human element, you know the equation where you add in a human being to every and any situation, where you add them in into and problem and solution, yeah that factor, or as I like to say, the factor of stupidiousmoronicusidiotica; aka stupid, morons who happen to be idiots factor. If I could illustrate the equation for you, you may understand where the human element fits into all of this.

Ignorance + stupidity + Idiot+ Moron + blinds following (Human – awareness – understanding – minding your own freaking business) the earth × all the animals on the plant × all the plant that ever existed ÷ Race ÷ religion ÷ sex ÷ age + class + FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS! – Universe 2= ? or (unforeseen unfortunate circumstance)

Yup, there you have it the human factor, the equation that explains where humanity fits into all this, an unforeseen, unfortunate circumstance.

Now you see, it's much easier to not make fun of the world because when you take out the human factor, you get a world that is much simpler, more understandable, and easier to navigate.

With those living breathing parasites (and no not an actual parasite), you can live in a world without conflict without problems. Once you take out humans from the equation, you get things, "but wait without human, how could the light blub be invented, how could wifi be created, how could art be what it is."

Ture humans did invent pretty neat things to make humanity move forward, but at the same time, the same humans (not the exact same humans) moved us back. Take your current partner; for example, take a good look, go on, do it, I'll give you time to look, great have you done it, perfect now that you have looked at them, take some time to think about everything wrong about them every single thing wrong about them, have you done it great now right it all down. Now do the same thing and write down everything right about them; think about it for a while, think about all the things you love and hate about your partner. Now take a look at the paper tell me what you see. Do you see them being too moody, overly obsessive, nagging all the time, a person who doesn't get your insults a joke, someone who takes the thing to literally, or are they someone who doesn't care about you contently does the same thing with no regards to you or about you.

Excellent now, do you see the picture? Humans are the insects holding you back, bringing you down, knocking you over and tearing you apart. Did you want to do another one? I have plenty more where that came from, no? okay, cool. Well, then now I guess you get the point.

In this entire universe, as we a living being know it, we think that the earth is wrong with life and everything about it, but it's not in reality. It's us, the humans of this planet, that make life so complicated, so when I ask you, is it easy to make fun of the world, what will your answer be.
