The Goal of Wisdom is Laughter and Play

I like this Philo character.
He believes that people are ultimately good. Just like God is good. He believes that God “alone rejoices, he alone feels delight, he alone is happy, he alone enjoys absolute peace; he has no grief or fear, is free of any evil or pain, and lives in eternal bliss.” I’m not quite sure I believe all of this, but it makes for a nice picture of God. Even if, while you’re struggling, and upset, and depressed or sad, you don’t have a God available who can relate to you, because He just has a smile on His face all the time, and pure happiness in His heart. If only He would have modeled us to be more like Him…Shucks!
Philo seems to think that we are made in His image though. He declares that “the face of a wise man is…radiant and serene, filled with a vast delight”. And that “the goal of wisdom is laughter and play”.
Don’t get me wrong, I love laughter. I’d love to become laughter itself, like Philo says I would be if I were wise. I think that it is very wise to laugh a lot, since it is a portrayal of a glad heart, and an easy mind. Do the wise men that you know laugh a lot? I know a few…however; the majority of the wise people I know generally reflect other qualities before they laugh away. They tend to be more silent and contemplative-thinking before speaking. They tend to be analytical, well-learned, slow to anger, and understanding of many things.
While I think Philo has a great outlook on life in general, I don’t necessarily know how realistic it is.
