Sometimes even having that sense of humor isn't working and I learn the lesson about cracking a joke - it takes, definitely, more than the joke itself and the intention of it (despite the sense of humor that I just mentioned).
Sometimes the air runs thin and people starts to feel a little uneasy about the topic of discussion so someone would usually break the situation with some little lame and cheap joke. It has no special intention but to shift that tension away.
Sometimes they work if people just laugh their way out from the seriousness. Other times, it frozen the air even more. Especially when that stupid joke was not being taken as a joke but an embarrassment, or it's inappropriateness to exist.
So I realize chain reaction is a good point of ponder. One leads to another and everything will be totally different should a break takes it's place right.
The problem is: we just never know what is going to be right, either the timing or the topic, for the joke. I took the initiative, and it ended up badly.
Well, what can I say? What's more important than the motive of easing the air? Wisdom, perhaps, which I need.
