“Among flippant people, the joke is always assumed to have been made. No one actually makes it; but every serious subject is discussed in a manner which implies that they have already found a ridiculous side to it....
[Flippancy] is a thousand miles away from joy; it deadens, instead of sharpening the intellect; and it excites no affection between those who practice it.” - C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters #poastr #nostr
