Content: It is worth noting that most serial killers also believe this about themselves. There's a difference between being sardonic or cynical and being sarcastic. Being cynical can often breed a great sense of humor, especially if you can be cynical and empathetic at the same time. Every great comedian I can think of is a highly cynical and empathetic individual (think Dave Chappelle, Louis CK, Hannibal Buress, etc). They get what makes people tick, and they like to laugh at the absurdities in the world. Sarcasm is an exercise in self-superiority that is usually meant to exclude someone from the conversation. It is almost always useless without someone else trying to create. You can't tell a sarcastic joke; someone else needs to say something with seriousness, and you need to attempt to discredit it with sarcasm. Sarcasm is often used as an attempt to end an argument without seriously addressing an issue - and is therefore a sign of close-mindedness.
