Simplified Meaning:

When life feels completely illogical or unreasonable, sometimes the best way to deal with it is to embrace the craziness and respond in an unconventional way. Think of it like this: Imagine you're in a bizarre situation where everything seems nonsensical, like being in a carnival funhouse with distorted mirrors. Usually, you'd try to find a logical way out, but because nothing makes sense, your typical solutions don't work. Instead of getting frustrated, laugh at the absurdity and play along with the weirdness. For instance, if someone keeps giving you silly answers to serious questions, try responding with a silly question yourself. By matching the oddness of your environment, you can find new and creative ways to handle it. This approach helps you stay flexible and maybe even discover a solution that you wouldn't have thought of by sticking to the usual way of thinking. Essentially, when faced with a chaotic or irrational world, sometimes it's best to lighten up and meet it with a bit of humor and an open mind.
