Nothing . . .

. . . or something? . . .

(from Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann, translated by John E. Woods)
". . . sometimes not even taking off his hat and coat, he would walk straight to the piano, his face strained with concentration, as if this had been the real point of his having come, and then with a strong attack would sound knotted chords and, his eyebrows raised high as he emphasized each modulating note, try out the preparations and resolutions he might have been considering on his way there. . . "What is that"? . . . "Nothing," the pianist answered with a quick shake of his head, a gesture that looked more as if he were shooing a fly. "How can it be nothing," someone retorted, "since you're playing it?" . . . "And how can he say it's nothing, when it's something he's playing? You can't play what doesn't exist?". . . "Everything . . . was once nothing that became something. ". . . "

A Certain Something. . .

As far back as I can remember, I have always possessed a great appreciation for humor.  I don't just mean the telling of jokes good or bad, or listening to jokes per se. Even though all kids, myself included, go through the 'knock knock" stage.  (I remember when our youngest did.  He would concoct the most nonsensical knock knock jokes which evoked the most hilarious laughter from himself, non-stop at the dinner table.) And I certainly enjoy certain stand-up comedians as well as humorists in literature. 

Maybe I should more specifically say that the appreciation to which I am referring was (and is) for individuals possessing a natural, innate quality in their ability to inject a humorous element in ordinary conversation to the degree that they become, for lack of a better word, humorous.

I have personally encountered several of such personalities throughout the years.  In the past I even enjoyed them so much that I wanted to be like them.  But this mysterious, humorous quality is not something that can be taught or learned.  It appears to be a genetic trait and a natural characteristic that one either has or does not, such as blue eyes or the ability to curl your tongue.
