How do I open my sense of humor?

Your sense of humor is not something to be learned; it is your birthright, waiting to blossom as you remove the heavy stones of seriousness that society has placed upon you. Embrace spontaneity and laughter, and watch as your true intelligence and humanity emerge.

— Osho
According to Osho, your sense of humor isn’t learned—it’s inborn. You ‘open’ it not by adding anything but by removing the rocks society piled on you: praised seriousness, rigid self‑control, mechanical behavior. Relax, allow spontaneity, laugh freely, share delight. As you drop repression and non‑seriousness returns, intelligence flowers, humanity replaces robot‑like efficiency, and life regains color and ease.

Stop trying so hard to be serious; relax and let yourself laugh like a child again.
