Sarcasm is a way in which intelligent people are responding to the less intelligent and telling them the truth without directly insulting them.
Some even claim it’s the brain’s natural ‘defense from stupidity’.
A sarcastic person is able to see the true colors of others even though they may be hiding them pretty well.
Sarcasm may also give you more bravery to speak up your mind. But, not everyone is able to be sarcastic-they’re not too confident to speak up.
Some people even think sarcasm is a negative and bad trait-however; others would say these people are just sensitive and unable to handle the truth.
The co-author of the Sarcasm Handbook, Lawrence Dorfman, says that the biggest misconception about sarcasm is that it’s viewed as low or base humor.
