Our spiritual discussion group wants to study Sufi humor but we're all so earnest and analytical that we're completely missing the playful spirit these stories are meant to invoke.

More people experience this than they realize.
Academic approaches to wisdom can create the very seriousness that playful teachings are designed to dissolve.
