Funny Soul

Of course, I can't be serious all the time. I think humor is considered worldly, but I think spirituality has a great sense of humor. Most of the time, when I read something considered deep or spiritual, it isn't funny. If I become very good at this, I will achieve humor in the topic of the soul. Unfortunately, I am not that good yet. Perhaps I'm used to dark humor and crude humor. Does anyone teach spiritual humor? Buddha probably does. The title of a sort of Buddhist book I read was Being Nobody, Going Nowhere. I found that funny. My Mom found it disturbing. Or was the book Taoist. All religions run together if you read enough about them. The joke on us could be that they're all the same. I believe in everything, to some degree. In doing so, I alienate myself from most religions. It has been the same for me with friendships from time to time. People like you better if you choose their group or doctrine. It makes them feel secure, and gives them a sense of who you are. If they can't pin you down, it bothers them. Yet, you aren't pinned down, so you're more free. Maybe they resent your freedom, then. But by excluding yourself with too much tolerance, you deny yourself the freedoms that come from the security of a group. I strive to be more loving and understanding of everyone, and they shun me for it. That's kind of funny. By believing in everything, I have no definitive religion.
