Question

Are wisdom & humur connected? How?

Answer 1

It is often believed that wisdom and humour are contrary to each other, but by adding a little humour into a wise statement can make it easier for the audience to grasp even difficult statements.  In fact, many comic statements have something sensible to tell us regarding life.

While, wisdom guides us through life and helps us in drawing conclusions about it, humour relieves stress and helps people in coming together as a society.

Humour and Wisdom are the two important characteristics of human nature. Not every human possesses these important qualities; some may be humorous but not wise and others may be intelligent but not humorous. Only few people possess both the qualities together. Wisdom and Humour, combined together make a person smart. There is an interesting relationship between humour and wisdom; humour may not be wise, but wisdom has the power to create a vigorous humour.

It’s also important to be humorous in life because of the ever-increasing stress and anxieties in today’s world. Wise people tend to stay silent and patient but a healthy and harmless humour mixed with wisdom keeps a person healthy and fit

Humour also has several faces. While healthy humour lightens the mood of the people, at the same time vindictive humour may hurt others. Such humour doesn’t have any relation with wisdom. A wise person thinks several times before speaking and uses humour in a restricted manner.

So we can say that humour and wisdom are the two qualities which can exist together and can present very smart ideas, can talk smartly and can invent smart things.
