According to Osho, humor is a sacred medicine: it punctures our seriousness, lets us laugh at ourselves, and turns even aging and loss into celebration. A good joke opens the heart, relaxes the mind, and brings us back to the present. Laughter loosens the ego’s grip so love and awareness can flow; it reminds us that life is play, not a burden.
Humor helps us stop taking ourselves so seriously so we can relax, love, and enjoy life right now—even as things change.
