Serious people address problems. Frivolous people let problems get worse.

It's hard to argue that there's too much seriousness in the world.

As for humor... there are many kinds of humor. It all depends on what you're laughing at, and why. Intelligent humor can be very serious indeed. Intelligent humor offends the frivolous. Intelligent anything offends the frivolous, but intelligent humor actually insults them.

"Life is absurd. It can't be taken seriously" - an atheist.

That all sounds very serious.

God is very serious about us having a good time :)

"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4)

"giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ," (Ephesians 5:20)

God "gives us richly all things to enjoy." (in 1 Timothy 6:17)

My Grandpa gave me some sound advice on his deathbed.

"It's worth spending money on good speakers", he told me.

People who think the are the epitome of any ideal and consider others wrong for not acknowledging it stand in the way of any situation progressing past their own person. It's no longer about the ideal but about them defending and promoting it.

These types of control freaks are as much of a danger to themselves as to others, because their ego will not support them enduring anything they consider a lack of stature, wither it be from others coments or their own failings pouring through the veneer of their self emposed perfections.
