He’s No JP Sears: Shunyamurti’s Last Stand Up - 08.25.18
from Spiritual Teachings With Shunyamurti · host Shunyamurti
Excerpt: "You see, I obviously couldn’t make it as a comedian. . . . And what I ended up doing was going into silence. Because you can’t really go wrong if you don’t try to tell a joke. And I could see why it’s very depressing to be a comedian, because nine out of ten of your jokes are going to fail, nobody’s going to laugh at them, and this will feed on your depression to the point where you’ll say, 'OK, I’m inadequate in my ability to make people laugh.' So, when I recognized that that whole reason for people to become comedians was the feeling of inadequacy, then I realized, 'OK, this goes to the very core of the issue with the human ego.'"
