I would say yes :) I have observations on people who tend to be ironic and sarcastic and they are also very creative, productive and come up with innovational ideas very fast. In general, sense of humor increases the level of productivity, because the mind tries to find the best solution. A funny person would rapidly come up with an answer to anything which helps the brain think faster and in many directions :).
Well, it is not pleasant speech. (Ephesians 4:29) "Let a rotten word not come out of your mouth, but only what is good for building up as the need may be, to impart what is beneficial to the hearers." It certainly is not speech that makes a person feel good.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
