“Don’t take life too seriously. You will never get out alive.” –Elbert Hubbard
Life in a lush garden of infinite love with only one snake in the grass, is 99.99% fun. Once we learn how to be fruitful and multiply, though, seriousness gets the last laugh. No worries! On this seriously funny philosophical blog, we restore the default.
“Life is too important to be taken seriously.” Oscar Wilde
Oh, The Book of Lists by David Wallenchinsky and Amy Wallace records nine cases of fatal hilarity since the 12th Century BCE. So, albeit improbable, it is possible to die laughing. But it is impossible not to induce terminal boredom with an overdose of seriousness.
“You should live everyday like it’s your birthday.” –Paris Hilton
What planet is Paris on? Could it be the one where Cinderellas outnumber all the fairy godmothers and charming princes (not to mention billionaire grandfathers) combined? For sure, we say. Because laughing with the gods – a metaphor of priceless and timeless happiness in the everyday – is not only our birthright, but our reason for being on this planet today.
