46. Human beings are distinguished from animals by the ability to laugh. In a world which appears to be completely devoid of humor, we enjoy this supreme luxury. In a divided world, laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be shadowed by ideological differences, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor. If happiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.
