About This Quote

In the beginning, when we are young our sense of humor is very different from ours today. We don’t laugh at ourselves, instead we laugh at others. However, as we grow older and face the difficulties of life, we begin to appreciate things a little more. We can see that our failures can be a source of entertainment for others and that if we have a sense of humor about them, then it is better than being upset or depressed.
