Laughing with Buddha, Christ, Neils Bohr, William James, and Ramana Maharishi

Humor is magic. It's temporary, like everything in this world, but when it appears, in the time it takes to laugh, opposites dissolve, judgments lose their meaning, and we don't cling to our stories. Think about it. Identify your most poisoned ideologue, religious fanatic, materialist fanatic, raving right-of-right wingnut, bleeding heart liberal, or activist on any issue that is positive theirs is the *only solution*. Make them laugh. For that moment, it all drops away.

Moments can't be captured. By the time you try, they're gone.

But if you *were* able to, you would find, in that moment of laughter, what Christ, William James, Buddha, Neils Bohr, Ramana Maharishi (that's not the TM guy) and a host of others were talking about
