You can be whole with humour

You can be whole with humour

All The Religions has been missing one very fundamental quality: sense of humour. It has been unfortunate because it has made religion sick.

Sense of humour is an essential part of the wholeness of man. It keeps us healthy, young, and fresh. For centuries, sad people have dominated religion. They have expelled laughter — from churches, mosques, and from temples. The day laughter enters back into holy places, they will be really holy, because they will be whole. Laughter is the only quality that distinguishes us from other animals. Only humans can see the ridiculous, the absurd. Only we have the capacity and consciousness to be aware of the cosmic joke that existence is. Existence is a cosmic joke; it is not a serious affair.
