Over the course of the past few months, there have been tragic events occurring all over the world. Although people are aloud to grieve and pray, people should also be able to try and stay positive through the events. Comedy is a good outlet for letting the positivity shine through the dark times. Comedy helps to make light of situations that may be hard to get through. If comedy is used as an outlet for grieving, people need to remember not to take it to heart.
But going back to Burnham's special, it's important to stay positive through the tough times in one's life. Comedy is key.
