Summary

This quote suggests that the inability to laugh is a sign of a person's readiness to commit betrayal and deception. It goes further to claim that such a person's entire life is already marked by dishonesty and deceit. Laughter is often associated with light-heartedness, genuine emotions, and shared connection, so the absence of it can imply a lack of sincerity and authenticity. Hence, this quote highlights the importance of laughter as an indicator of someone's moral character and the absence of it as indicative of their inclination towards treachery and falsehoods.
