More From Albert Einstein

And this is the simple truth - that to live is to feel oneself lost. he who accepts it has already begun to find himself, to be on firm ground. instinctively, as do the shipwrecked, he will look around for something to which to cling, and that tragic, ruthless glance, absolutely sincere, because it is a question of his salvation, will cause him to bring order into the chaos of his life. these are the only genuine ideas; the ideas of the shipwrecked. all the rest is rhetoric, posturing, farce.

The gods have fled, i know. my sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. i do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. if anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. i believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship of eachother and, through those moments of transmutation, to know for an instant what the gods know.

There is a kind of laughter that sickens the soul. laughter when it is out of control: when it screams and stamps its feet, and sets the bells jangling in the next town. laughter in all its ignorance and cruelty. laughter with the seed of satan in it. it tramples upon shrines; the belly-roarer. it roars, it yells, it is delirious: and yet it is as cold as ice. it has no humor. it is naked noise and naked malice.
Laughter Ignorance Ice
A vast silence reigned over the land. the land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. there was a hint in it of laughter, but of laughter more terrible than any sadness-a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. it was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. it was the wild, the savage, frozen-hearted northland wild.

Laughter is a symptom of spirituality. laughter is the flow of love coursing through your body. laughter is the nectar of present moment awareness. invite more laughter into your life and relish the magic in every moment.
