And, in every one you do not come with both features. For example, if someone is full of humor; The possibility may be that he is devoid of knowledge; While the other person will be very intelligent, but there may be a lack of humor elements.
However, the combination of knowledge and humor is a splendid and if a person has got both, then he can really be smart. Is not it? It is said that humor can not be knowledge, but knowledge has the ability to give birth to healthy humor. Wisdom is the brain's oxygen while humor works as a catalyst for the brain. When we have both necessary knowledge and good humor, we feel happy and satisfied from within.
If you look back in history, you will realize that many intelligent people were born, who were given the gift of good sense. For example, Albert Einstein was known as a great scientist and physicist, who kept many of his scientific ideas in a big humorous way before the world. Please allow me to mention one of his popular quotations here: "Falling in love is not the most stupid thing people do - but gravity can not be held responsible for it. However, a very thin line has been drawn between humor and ruggedness.
Being degrading does not mean that you can insult someone or pass abusive remarks. I am sure many of us have seen that under the guise of humor, people make someone eligible for fun or let others go through their funny comments. There is no relation to the knowledge of such a comic, whatever. The real humor is called a healthy humor and there is a deep connection with knowledge.
An intelligent person thinks many times before telling anything to others so that the line of decency does not cross. It is true that laughter is the food of a healthy life, so take advantage of it as much as possible, but keep in mind that it will not hurt anyone's feelings, otherwise you will be seen in front of others. Do not force yourself to make fun of others, let the symptoms of your personality come on your own, and allow people to accept you as you are.
But of course, you can cultivate the wealth of knowledge and through it it can affect people rightfully. Today is the orientation day for all of you. We understand that you have joined this college so that you can gain knowledge and knowledge that will help you in the future. But I would like to talk about another important but a little mild, i.
Each of us would have heard about the word 'humor' and 'intellect', but some people know about the origin of 'humor'; It was originated from the concept of 'four humorous ated in the first healing'.
This means that human emotions are guided by four different body essays or humps. It shows that humor can trigger emotional level. On the other hand, wisdom is the state of being wise. It is often believed that knowledge and humor are contrary to each other, but by adding a little humor to an intelligent statement, the audience can make it easier to understand even more difficult statements.
In fact, in many comedic statements there is some sense to tell us about life. Whereas, wisdom guides us through life and helps us to get a conclusion about it; Humor provides relief from stress and helps people to come together as a society. Humor and intelligence are two important characteristics of human nature. Not every human has these important qualities; Some may be humorous but not intelligent and others may be wise but not humorous. Only some people possess both qualities. Wisdom and humor make together a person smart.
There is an interesting relationship between humor and knowledge; Humor can not be intelligent, but knowledge has the power to make a strong humor. Humor is also important in life because of the ever increasing tension and worries of today's world.
The sensible people live quietly and patiently, but a healthy and harmless person mixed with knowledge keeps a person healthy and fit. We can learn lessons from our respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi; He is not only very intelligent, dedicated and hard working, he is also a comedy. He always uses light jokes in rallies or in his speeches in social media. This is one of the main reasons why it is particularly fit and popular among the youth. Humor also has many faces.
Why do they work so well together? When people laugh, relax and open up. They have more receptive to your ideas. People are more likely to accept your insight and wisdom if you can laugh, especially at yourself!
Very few things can make people drop their guard and preconceived judgement more than humour. When you are engaging in any sort of talking on dialogue with an audience on individual, and you want your audience a listener to adopt a new perspective, one of the best ways to do it is to open them up by making them laugh and then passing on your ideas to them.
It is highly possible that they will accept what you say or at least they will think on it from an unbiased point of view.
Is humour more important than wisdom? It is highly debatable. Whilst both of them can exist in isolation, each has its own importance. For most effective communication and desired outcomes, a combination of wisdom and humour is the most ideal to have.
Humour and wisdom goes hand in hand, quite similar to the obverse and the reverse side of a coin. They can never be separated from each other because good humour always originate from wisdom and nothing can have wisdom unless there is a tinge of humour in it.
The humour that wisdom creates is however not the ones you get at your regular comedy shows. This kind of humour is extremely healthy and invasive. It is humour with a purpose. To conclude I would like to say that from time immemorial a combination of humour and wisdom has been used by great men to influence others and seek immovable difficulties. Appreciation of humor correlates with other strengths , too, such as wisdom and love of learning.
And humor activities or exercises result in increased feelings of emotional well-being and optimism. For all these reasons, humor is now welcomed into mainstream experimental psychology as a desirable behavior or skill researchers want to understand. How do we comprehend, appreciate, and produce humor? Understanding and creating humor require a sequence of mental operations.
Cognitive psychologists favor a three-stage theory of humor. To be in on the joke, you need to be able to:. When we see or think of something, it activates the relevant schema—that is, our body of knowledge on that particular topic immediately comes to mind. For example, when we see cows in a Far Side cartoon , we activate our bovine schema stage one.
But when we notice the cows are inside the car while human beings are in the pasture grazing, there are now two mental representations in our conscious mind: what our preexisting schema mentally represented about cows, and what we imagined from the cartoon stage two. By inhibiting the real-world representation stage three , we find the idea of cows driving through a countryside of grazing people funny.
Funny is the subjective experience that comes from the resolution of at least two incongruous schemas. In verbal jokes, the second schema is often activated at the end, in a punchline. First, the punchline must create a different mental representation that conflicts with the one set up by the joke; timing and laugh tracks help signal the listener that a different representation of the punchline is possible.
Second, you must be able to inhibit the initial mental representation. When jokes perpetuate a stereotype that we find offensive as in ethnic, racist, or sexist jokes , we may refuse to inhibit the offensive representation.
Violence in cartoons is another example; in Roadrunner cartoons, when an anvil hits the coyote, animal lovers may be unable to see the humor. This incongruity model can explain why older adults do not comprehend jokes as frequently as younger adults. Due to declines tied to the aging process, older adults may not have the cognitive resources needed to create multiple representations, to simultaneously hold them in their minds in order to detect the incongruity, or to inhibit the first one that was activated.
Getting the joke relies on working memory capacity and control functions. There may be other aspects to humor, though, where older adults hold the advantage. Wisdom is a form of reasoning that increases with age and is correlated with subjective well-being.
