Answer 2

Answer:

Humour or humor (see spelling differences) is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks People of all ages and cultures respond to humour. Most people are able to experience humour—i.e., to be amused, to smile or laugh at something funny—and thus are considered to have a sense of humour. Thehypothetical person lacking a sense of humour would likely find the behaviour induced by humour to be inexplicable, strange, or even irrational. Though ultimately decided by personal taste, the extent to which a person finds something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education,intelligence and context. For example, young children may favour slapsticksuch as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, whose purely physical nature makes it more accessible to them. By contrast, more sophisticated forms of humour such as satire require an understanding of its social meaning and context, and thus tend to appeal to more mature audiences.

wisdom is the judicious application of knowledge.The opposite of wisdom is folly. Synonyms includeprudence, sagacity, discernment, or insight.

Achieving wisdom often requires humor.

Humor is an exploitation of wisdom.

One needs a sense of humor (and proportion) to know what matters. And one must know what matters to manifest wisdom. Much of what we take seriously is a joke that we play on ourselves.
