I'm asking this in philosophy, because I keep getting tautological answers in the more obvious categories. I need some lateral, creative thinking on this.

People are always shocked that I LOVE jokes, hearing them, telling them. I love to be silly, goofy, but I'm also very SERIOUS.

Why is this seen as a CONTRADICTION? I am really, really curious.

(It almost seems that culturally people separate themselves, as if -- well you tell me.... )

For example, if you gave your lover a ring...and s/he cheated on you--would you request the ring back?

If you intended to support a friend's church, and the friend back stabbed you--would you still support the church?

How much is your good word worth...if affected by the negative actions of others?
