The best reason not to take yourself or the world too seriously is that it makes you a giant douchebag.

Of course, sometimes being a giant douchebag is funny.

Your brain is basically the same at a rats, only grown to a ridiculous size

For a very superficial definition of "basically". In the same sense, your DNA is basically the same as that of a potatoe.

Dennis Leary has a great example from his No Cure For Cancer routine. "We kill the cows to make the leather jackets...then we kill each other for the leather jackets made from the cows."

I think the best example I can think of is one I learned from Psychology about Maslow's Hierarchy, or at least in that whole section of the class. It's a been studied that, once reaching a certain point of income, you'll be at the same level of happiness as anyone else in any other pay rate. Sure, an increase will make you excited for a while but then it'll stabilize again. And I more or less agree. I've never been in a family with a large disposable income or anything, but I've run the gamut from middle class to lower class to below poverty line. And, at least for me, as long as I've got the shit that I need to survive and a few superfluous things I'm good.

It helps me not take the world as seriously because, really, I know that the people with shitloads of money have just as many problems as I do, just different ones. And with some of the shit that I've heard about, I'm glad that my problems are money related and not the shit they deal with.

Here are a list of reasons -
I) God doesn't even want to know us
II) The world doesn't care.
V) I don't care
VI) If they don't care, why should I?

Of course, having problems is a normal part of being alive (The challenge, right?). It just takes a resolve, you can react with humour, you can react with bitterness... all in all - it doesn't matter. Its what is known best to the person.

I try to tell people this, and they accuse me of being a communist.

Just because other people are doing it doesn't mean you have to.
