"Individuals who can do things, no matter whether
good, bad or indifferent or outrageous, simply because they're
fun — an individual who can freely and with a clear heart do
things do things because they're fun is a very sane person.
And he'll be in good shape. And the amount of laughter which a
person laughs — which is, by the way, not your harmonics of
laughter. Laughter, you see, has a number of harmonics down
the line. Rather upper scale laughter: a person, he laughs, he
doesn't laugh because he's embarrased, he doesn't laugh this
way and that, he laughs because he thinks something is funny.
And if a person laughs fairly open, and is very easy in tha
laughter, you got a sane man in your hands.
"And they just go downscale and laugh less and less or
laugh more embarrasedly or compulsively or obsessively, more
and more and more, as we get clear down to the bottom."
"Person down at the bottom doesn't laugh at all. He doesn't
live, either. He just lies there, a lump of energy, being
mass, meaning and no mobility. He's not even a symbol
anymore."
