HUMOUR IS A KEY TO LIFE
Master Jun Hong Lu: Jokes and humour are keys to life. All it takes is a joke to instantly dispel the tension between a disgruntled couple; it takes wisdom to make it work.
Caller: Personally, I’m just terrible at speaking.
Master Jun Hong Lu: This is why you should spend more time with me, and soon you will find yourself more eloquent. I’m not joking. Let me share a story from my middle school days.
There was a classmate who never cracked jokes. He always looked stern, with an expressionless face. However, he enjoyed hanging out with me, listening to my jokes and imitating what I said. For a long time, he had had trouble finding a girlfriend, but things began to change after he gradually picked up some humour from me. He eventually found a girlfriend, started a family, and everything fell into place.
Humour is a powerful remedy, a natural expression of one’s true nature. Those who are humorous tend to be highly intelligent. People of low character, however, cannot genuinely be humorous. Just look at them – the words that come out of their mouths are often crude or vulgar.
