VonNoble Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 How critical is a sense of humor in your life? Is it one of the essential top three traits necessary for balance? If not, does it make the top 5? The top 10? von PS.... I would likely put it in the top three. Maybe when I see other opinions I will realize I forgot something... that might bump it lower..... but I am starting with it in the # 3 position.

Brother Kaman Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Humor may well be the most important thing that keeps me sane and relatively non violent. As the saying goes, "There is no evidence that life should be taken seriously." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simply part of the whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kaman Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Humor also takes some of the sting out of being alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily in that order, though. Humor is in top 10, or likely my wife would kill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest that you keep her laughing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the time, I can laugh or I can cry. Most of the time, I choose laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Dave Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Since Love tops my list, I would have to say that a sense of humor is in the top 5 for sure. Many years ago my beautiful wife, whom I love and who loves me, told me that my wit was one of the first things that attracted her to me.

Dan56 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'd list a sense of humor in my top 5 attributes, but there was a time in my life when it was number one, only because there was nothing else. I've noticed that everyone thinks they have a good sense of humor, until they're the butt of a joke, in which case their appreciation for humor goes out the window.
