The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people – that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature. The wellspring of laughter is not happiness, but pain, stress, and suffering. — James Thurber
As ever, another very interesting quote aussie. I am pondering on his last sentence, and it doesn't sit well with my own experience. My wellspring of laughter comes from my faith, and I can feel where it is my body - just above my diaphragm.

Beautifully put beadyei and yes, my Christian faith does just that. Hugs.
