Sarcasm

Uh, let me thumb through my dictionary and get a definition of "Sarcasm": A sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain.

Well, The Grasshopper, years ago, weighed in on the word and offered me this: “Sarcasm is a spice and not a staple of life.”

I've come to appreciate sarcasm as a universal force of divisiveness. I've also come to notice that those who use it as a staple bring more negative energy to their interactions and appear to be an unhappy lot.

I'm pretty sure sarcasm will never disappear from our lives, but the degree to which it lessens, broadens the landscape known as “common ground,” and lays the foundation for more optimistic, peaceful feelings.

Hey, I'm not lobbying to remove sarcasm from the dictionary, but I am grateful that it has faded in my life.

All the best,

John
