What is joy without humour worth?
It is essential for humour to be reflective or at least to be encompassed by the laughter that it provokes or the smile, even a bitter one, that it provokes.
We can joke about everything: failure, war, death, love, sickness, torture... But this laughter must bring some joy, gentleness and lightness to the misery of the world and not bring more hatred, suffering or contempt.
Humour is no substitute for action and insensitivity to the suffering of others is a fault.
Humour deactivates seriousness, but also, for that very reason, hatred, anger, resentment, fanaticism, mortification and even irony.
That is why there is courage, greatness and generosity in humour.
