Being witty …. that’s a talent !
Being sarcastic…. that’s a cheap shot.
I’m all for clever anecdotes and thought provoking comments that tempt the
mind to wander and consider new perspectives, but I can’t tolerate sarcasm that denigrates the value of another human and the two are often confused.
A clever wit can be used to sharply and aptly analyse an idea and add value to that idea, where as sarcasm deflects negative energy and belittles another
human – not adding value to either person !
Sarcasm is a low blow – diminishing its user. On the other hand, wit encapsulates a circumstance and creates a new opportunity for growth. Wit is useful – sarcasm an attempt at being more intelligent 🤓 but is more about puffing out fancy feathers than it is about showing genuine knowledge. I would never encourage sarcasm – I rarely see real wit !
The way I see it !
