''Suck-asm''

Everybody has a few close buddies where they could be sarcastic towards each other and not have second thoughts. Usually these are lifelong friends who understand you and are extremely close to where there is never a question of intention. I thought about that the other day and I started to reflect about the other end of sarcasm that we use them in our daily lives and what that seemed like. So why do we do it? Why does sarcasm dominate so much of the culture that we subsist in? I personally think that sarcasm is a defense system we use to shield ourselves or ward off something. Sarcasm is control of the situation that you find yourself in which has no benefits. When people are uncomfortable, self conscious and etc, sarcasm is used to deal with these things or in other words to cope. Therefore in the end sarcasm is an act of selfishness and egoism. I guess sarcasm is our defensive offense if that ever make sense. How if every sarcastic comment that people make was replaced with genuine encouragement or silence? What would things turn out to be like? Be sincere to yourself, think and make the correct decision.
