You’re an immortal, divine being. A little god, and yet, you toil like a slave. Isn’t that hilarious?

About This Quote

Humor is a great way to break the tension, or at least make it easier to cope with. It is human nature to find the funny in things that are painful, especially when they are in our own control. Of course, excessive humor can be self-defeating because it can undermine the seriousness of the situation. However, in this particular quote, it seems that Buddha was poking fun at himself in a light-hearted way.
