Question

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :-

You are endowed with certain naughtiness as a child. Keep it alive. Humour will grease all tough

situations. One who has humour can sail through any conflict. Humour is the buffer that saves you

from humiliation. If you refuse to be humiliates, you become invincible. Humour brings everyone

together, while humiliation tears them apart. In a society torn with humiliation and insult humour is like

a breath of fresh air.

Humour should be coupled with care and concern. Humour can keep the spirit high, yet if overdone it,

leaves a bad taste. Humour without wisdom is shallow. Humour without sensitivity is satire – it comes

back to you with more problems.

The wise use humour to bring wisdom and to lighten situations. The intelligent use humour as a shield

against humiliation. The cruel use of humour as a sword to insult others. The irresponsible use of

humour to escape from responsibility and fools take humour too seriously.

How does the one cultivate a sense of humour? Humour is not just words; it is the Lightness of your

being. You do not have to read and respect jokes. Humour can be cultivated by taking life not too

seriously (because you will never come out of it alive), having a sense of belongingness with

everybody, including those who are not friendly, practising Yoga and mediation, having unshakable

faith in the Divine and in the laws of Karma, being in the company of those who live in knowledge and

are humorous, a willingness to be a clown.

Explanation:

What is humour?

• Experiences have a tendency to be humorous when they cause people to laugh and find them amusing.

• The phrase comes from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, who believed that the equilibrium of bodily fluids, or humours, controlled one's physical and mental well-being.

• The hypothetical person who doesn't have a sense of humour would probably regard the behaviour to be puzzling, odd, or even unreasonable.

• The degree to which a person considers something hilarious relies on a variety of factors, including context, geography, culture, age, level of education, and IQ.
