Question with answer on the topic humor and wisdom for asl

Answer 1

Humour is the fun and joy of life. It makes you laugh. For example Kapil Sharma's episodes are full of humour. Humour lends vibrancy to life. However, humour is a rare commodity. One can find quality humour in books. For example novels Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) by Jerome K Jerome and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain are perfect models of humour. In the former novel episodes such as ‘Uncle Podger hanging a picture’, ‘Cheese scene’, ‘Harris as maze guide’, ‘Harris as a singer’, George’s getting up in the middle of night and going out because of the malfunctioning of his watch’, etc. are full of sterling humour.   

Wisdom, on the other hand is the ability to make sensible decisions on the basis of your experience and knowledge. Confucius has wisely said, “Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men. “ Wise men say wisdom is the divine gift of heaven to men who please God with their noble deeds. Jesus, Nanak, Yogananda, Bulleshah, Rumi, and Gibran taught the world what wisdom is and how a mortal man can achieve it. Both wisdom and humour are very essential to live a happy and fulfilling life. Humour is the source of temporary happiness; but wisdom is the source of eternal joy.

Question: What is more important in life? Wisdom or humour?

Answer: Both are integral part of our life. Humour makes us laugh and keeps us healthy. Wisdom is very very important. Without wisdom a man is like a ship without rudder. It is through wisdom we overcome the challenges of life. wise people have always stressed on achieving wisdom. So if I am ever faced with the conflict of choosing between humour and wisdom, I would go for wisdom.
