How to be fun? This is a question that challenges people weekend after weekend, and yet despite this struggle, few have truly mastered this art. Many people claim to be fun, but many of those people fail to even grasp its complexity. Some say they are fun because they simply have fun often, which is, of course, a horrendous logical fallacy. A few hooligans have even made the suggestion that because they have access to copious alcoholic beverages, they are fun. Saying you are fun because you are frequently intoxicated is like hiring prostitutes and bragging about an active sex life. To be fun, one must learn to enjoy almost any situation, to find the humor in the mundane every day, to find genuine amusement in the most basic activities. This is no simple feat, one that requires years of practice, a stalwart attitude, a careful amount of satire, and, above all, an ability to be compassionate on a level most people don’t bother with during their day to day interactions. It is this level of interpersonal understanding that is truly required to find the wonderfully hilarious differences in people that make them so entertaining to watch and examine as they awkwardly clump through society. Once the joy of being fun is discovered, no witty side comment or role of the eyes or exasperated exhale will go unnoticed, as there is true enjoyment and entertainment to be found in these and all other human interactions.
