The word “humor’ is from English. We, Chinese, also use the word ‘humor’ in sound translation. But, we feel that unless we have profound knowledge, we cannot be a person of humor. It is not so, and even you are an ignorant person, you can be humorous too.
Somewhere there was a village in China many years ago. There lived a person called “Ah Q” in that village. He was alone, no family, working as a labour to keep his living. One day when he was walking in the street and a person knocked him seriously for no reason. Many onlookers sympathize him very much. But he said: “In recent years, son began to hit father. I am the unlucky father.” After that, he went away.
Actually, “humor” is a kind of attitude to pardon other persons. We must have a thinking of tolerance. For example, in the course of our life, we may be ill-treated by person we know. Surely we hate him. In such case, we should speak to ourselves. “Even I have not enough time to enjoy happiness, I have no time to hate a person who ill-treated me.” If you can build such philosophy of humor, it will surely do good to your daily life.
