Summary

This quote suggests that having a sense of humor is essential for navigating the ups and downs of life.

It implies that without a sense of humor, one may easily be overwhelmed by trivial or challenging situations, unable to maintain a lighthearted perspective. Thus, the quote emphasizes the importance of humor in buffering the inevitable bumps in life's journey.
