Don't Take It Seriously.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Do you laugh at your most cherished beliefs?

I think what he's saying is that it's not so much a matter of laughing at ones beliefs, but with them. Even Buddha laughed a lot and was renouned for having a good sense of humor. Personally, I agree with Inferius, we should be seeking paths to hapiness and betterment. If you're so enveloped in your beliefs that all you experience is mystery at everything that contradicts them, they will not hold. I like the Taoist (and arguably buddhist) view on this subject; not fighting or grasping at anything, just flowing with what is in total acceptance, making the best of what you can and making peace with what's unchangeable.

If religion or thinking about religion negatively impacts your mood, distract yourself. Everyone gets very serious when talking about the nature of reality/god/love/life. But in the end, do you really want ANY subject in life not to have a level of perception that says you can laugh at all of it? We're all here. We're all making the best of it. Might as well chill out and have fun with the serious stuff. Rating: 5
