Laughter

The National Geographic put out, at least in 2014, a lovely book containing quotes and photos for the 365 days of the year.

Today’s caught my attention.

 

A French writer, Jules Renard, wrote

“We were put here on earth to laugh.

We will no longer be able to do so in purgatory nor hell.

And, in heaven, it wouldn’t be appropriate”.

 

Not sure that I want to go anywhere where laughter isn’t appropriate. Sometimes even

The most solemn occasion or sad circumstances bring on a laugh if nothing more than to break the seriousness of the event. Life without these moments would be dull indeed.
