The problem is that, when we begin to realize the potential goodness in ourselves, we often take our discovery much too seriously.  We might kill for goodness or die for goodness; we want it so badly.  What we are lacking is a sense of humor.  Humor here does not mean telling jokes or being comical or criticizing others and laughing at them.  A genuine sense of humor is having a light tough:  not beating reality into the ground but appreciating reality with a light touch.
