Sarcasm

        Being an ironic person demands a level of intelligence. In my opinion, a bit of playfulness is also necessary. It’s like carefully adding pepper to someone’s food. And we don’t get surprise when we see others feeling the effects of our words. And when we see it we enjoy it a lot, no question.
        Having ironic behaviour is an artistic act. Sarcasm is a skill that we have in mind to use it as a child that we insert in the world to disorganize the universe.
        On the other hand, having ironic behaviour, nowadays, is a revolutionary and brave action. It’s like to disturb the normality of people who use their two feet while others don’t feel bad because they use their four supports like paws because they are cautious people.
       Sarcasm is an act that clearly shows us the dark side of ourselves. For example, cleaning and disinfecting the Statue of Liberty in New York using products from China. Or going to an electronic maintenance shop and finding a warning on the door: Hit the door hard because the bell is broken.
       Of course, being ironic people it is an act repeated many times or it is an act performed by people who have no idea about irony, but they want to be like them. Or imagine a crazy guy with many followers who decides to smile because he told a joke. What’s more, he imagines himself to be very smart because this is the only thing that makes sense to him: boosting his ego. Does that make sense?
        Being an ironic person is a spontaneous way to like fix something that exists only in the void of the mind without having any idea about it, although this thing makes sense to others.
       There are no smiles in the sweet art of irony. Irony is marked by a subtle movement of the eyebrows as if the ironic person is according to something that he doesn’t agree. His look seems to say: What am I doing here?
       Ironic people are antisocial. They don’t like anyone and nobody likes them. They are known as arrogant, rude, intractable, insensitive, and inelegant and they enjoy when people imagine them to be very smart. They are fascinating people.
       When we frame ironic people as characters in novels or movies and we see them, we are ironic people ourselves when they say bad things about someone and we smile. Maybe we wish to be like them or we are not being ironed.
       Irony encompasses sarcasm, scorn, and contempt. Irony is an amazing art and there could be a philosophical school: The school of Ironic people, the magic people of divine art of subtlety.
      Irony is sad and ironic people don’t believe in the world and humanity. Ironic people are sad because they see the real world and can see people like they really are. The truth, I’m sure, is that ironic people have a way to survive only by reacting against the world using their rudeness.
