Comedy and tragedy

Comedy and tragedy aren't opposites but neighbors on the same street: both reveal human truth through exaggeration, both hinge on timing and recognition, both let you feel something you couldn't otherwise touch. The reason dark comedy exists is that sometimes laughter is the only honest response to absurdity and loss happening simultaneously.
