"ユーモアのセンスほど人の進歩をよく示すものはない"
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Simplified Meaning:
When people can laugh at things and find humor in life, it shows they've grown and matured. Think about how, when you're young, you might take everything very seriously and get upset easily. As you grow older and gain more experiences, you start to see the funny side of challenging situations, and this makes tough times easier to handle. For example, imagine someone spills coffee on their shirt before a big meeting. A less mature person might completely panic or get very angry. But someone with a good sense of humor might laugh it off, make a joke about it, and move on with their day. This ability to stay positive and not let small problems ruin our day is a sign of personal growth. By applying this to life, one can stay happier and healthier because they learn to not sweat the small stuff.
