I love this selection. I really like the idea that God is the root of all love, joy and happiness. When i look at two people who are truly in love, like my parents i see something that is indescribable. The love that they share can't be put in words but it can be seen by everyone. They are the kind of people you look at and everyone knows they belong together. Complete one another. To see that love, the most powerful force in the universe, and to realize that it is just a small fraction of the love God has is unfathomable. The creator of that kind of love and happiness is one that I am happy to spend my life loving and worshiping.

I find the idea that a wise man is a playful man full of laughter very intriguing. Most of the time when I think of a wise man I think of someone meditating, deep in thought, almost still. This idea that the "goal of wisdom is laughter and play-not the kind that one sees in little children who do not yet have the faculty of reason, but the kind that is developed in those who have grown mature through both time and understanding" is very different than what I have traditionally pictured. I like this new though because a wise man should realize that God has given us our sense of humor, joy, laughter, and happiness. A true wise man should be able to look at the world around him and rejoice in life itself. Life is a joyous experience and a day with out a smile is a wasted day.
