You are not angry with people when you laugh at them. Humor

Summary

This quote suggests that laughter and humor can promote tolerance towards others and prevent anger. When we find something amusing about someone, it doesn't mean we are harboring negative feelings towards them. Instead, humor provides a perspective that allows us to view people's flaws, mistakes, or idiosyncrasies more empathetically. By finding humor in situations, we become more accepting of each other's imperfections, foster a sense of understanding, and promote a more forgiving and tolerant society.
