Summary

This quote implies that God finds humor in life's situations but acknowledges that people may be apprehensive to embrace it. It suggests that life can sometimes seem serious and frightening, causing people to suppress their natural inclination to laugh. God, however, understands the comedic aspect of existence even in the face of fear and wishes that people would lighten up and find amusement in life's absurdities.
