Why so serious people? - Page 2

Yes. Sense of humour in indeed a helpful thing to help us keep moving in today's world.

I believe a person genuinely has sense of humour if he can laugh at himself as much he can at any situation or others. There is a fine line between jeering and jesting. Jeering(no confusing it with sarcasm!) is malicious and jesting is genuine fun. Most people jeer than jest. I don't amount that humour to having sense of humour. To me, sense of humour has a brighter definition.

You cannot change the course of things with a frown. So better smile at it. I don't see the point of taking things too seriously. Also, many confuse a light-hearted approach as a laidback approach towards problems and hence, think one is not 'serious enough'. All you need is to understand the situation - gravity of it or simplicity of it - whatever, be it...you can always see something to smile or laugh about it.Humour need not be something knee-slappingly funny all the time but good enough to give your stomach a little wriggle.

On the personal front, I've been termed having a good sense of humour. And I value it. It value-adds for a contented living.

A sense of humor is, simply the ability to be amused. Most people have one, and are able to laugh at jokes. It is often considered to be a vital part of human development.😊
