Humor and Wits among the Youth

Here is the modern generation: with earphones plugged in their ears, with eyes glued on netbook, if not on the floor while walking, with fingers almost collapsing due to long-hour typing, with bangs covering their pretty faces, and with bloodshot eyes due to nocturnal schedule. So, is this the generation that will take on the task of governing the world? It is true that when one is young, a person tends to be self-centered (nobody's listening to me!), moody (both crying and laughing within a short span of time), gloomy ("It's the end of the world!"), and locked up in her ivory tower ("I am afraid to get out of my comfort zone."). She could be so melodramatic to the extent of affecting her entire circle of friends. At the end of the day, panning style seems to be in vogue; the focal point is the trivial issues in her life. However, this phenomenon could always not be the case. The young person has always a chest of treasures to share to the whole of mankind. We just have to push her a bit (a friendly jolt) so as to help her not to get sidetracked with petty things.

One of the characteristics that can be highlighted is good humor and wits. Be reminded that it is not just the act of laughing. It puts the person on a level that is divine: the person learns how to transcend beyond immediate things, and flows into the core of the matter. One gets to see things in a different perspective. She knows that life is serious and tough, but it does not rob her of the things that make life pleasant, bearable, and, ultimately, fun. In other words, she knows the right place of everything and everyone, and thus, she gets to understand the deeper meaning of things. Just like in fashion, a girl can always be inventive, innovative, wacky and/or witty when it comes to the choice and combination of her clothes and accessories, but at the same time she knows ultimately that there is a person behind those things. Juggling fashion rules and personality, she gets to obtain her prize. With this, at the onset of the year, GUTSY wants to remind you that with humor and wits one yields fruits of positive outlook, cheerfulness, and sanity.
