On Stating the Obvious

There is an odd trend for me having to do with obvious statements. It seems that the more obvious a statement is for me, the more profound that other people will find it. I suppose that it is to be expected, as statements that I consider to be obvious are the ones that make the most sense, and the ones that make the most sense have their grounding in either logic, experience, or inspiration.

In a similar vein, my funniest jokes tend to be observations of mundane things. Although, by pointing out the obvious, people notice the strange things we take for granted, and I get a laugh.

This seems to point to the fact that we are far less aware of our reality than we would like to think. The fact that the obvious is profound and the mundane is unexpected seems to say that we are putting our focus in the wrong places, or at the very least, the world is much bigger than we normally realize. Either interpretation is acceptable, as both encourage us to branch out and try new things, and the knowledge gained from such an adventure is invaluable.
