A fine balance

Progress is a strange thing.

When it comes a litany of winners and losers, the sad and the happy.

Often the future we hope for is not the one that we get and we are left wondering what went wrong.

Why say this now?

I have been treated to a set of comedians who seem so far removed from my sense of humour as to leave me reeling.

They left me offended.

In this case I feel they had misjudged their audience, because I was not the only one not laughing.

A fine comedic line

The humour edged on the black kind that seems so much a feature of my speech these days.

Yet they seemed to have missed the point.

Like the world we each inhabited was miles apart and I didn't even have a clue what words I could string together to connect with them.
