Philosophy Wire: Having fun!

Lab rats play hide-and-seek for the fun of it, new study shows. [1] But why limit the study to games? The whole life is a game. A joke. Something to laugh at. Don’t get me wrong. With jokes one says the most serious things, as Oscar Wilde said (or was he joking?). Wise men never feared of death. Not because they did not understand its significance. But because they felt there were more important things transcending existence. Remember Velimirovic! We came into this forest without ever knowing why. And we fear of getting out. Come on. Play in the wilderness. In a world full of cries and tears, how could you not laugh?
