Q: Welmek, I'm [[curious]]. Since you've had an [[opportunity]] to view us [[humans]], what are your [[opinions]], be they [[positive]] or [[negative]] about [[humor]] and how we use it or apply it in our lives?

Q: Welmek, I'm [[curious]]. Since you've had an [[opportunity]] to view us [[humans]], what are your [[opinions]], be they [[positive]] or [[negative]] about [[humor]] and how we use it or apply it in our lives?

A: I have attempted to [[learn]] more about this since I have been here. I [[hope]] I have improved. ([[laughter]]) Thank you. [[Humor]] is important on this [[planet]]. I did not fully [[understand]] this at first. There is, as I have said before, on a [[planet]] such as mine, there is less [[contrast]], and therefore, [[humor]] is not acquired to any great [[degree]] by persons on my planet or persons on planets in [[Light and Life]]. I had to acquire a sense of [[humor]] or an understanding of it on the [[morontia worlds]]. But I can [[assure]] you, I was not [[prepared]] for the [[degree]] of [[humor]] I have found here. Humor on [[morontia]]l levels is somewhat [[different]]. Your humor is, at times, not as [[sophisticated]] as it might be ([[laughter]]), but I have found that I enjoy it a great deal, and I am still working on my sense of [[humor]].

Q: Welmek, with the [[Christmas]] [[season]] coming on, how does the rest of the world [[perceive]] our Christmas holiday spirit?

A: The general consensus is that it is unfortunate that the [[birth]] of [[the Master]] seems to be so overshadowed by commercial [[greed]], by non- [[religious]] activities. It is truly unfortunate that so many of the people on this [[planet]] do not [[understand]] the importance of what occurred here when [[Jesus]] was born. If the [[mortals]] of this planet really understood the [[meaning]] of a [[Creator Son]], a being so mighty, taking the form of a [[human]] [[baby]], a helpless [[human being]], and all of the [[universe]] implications involved, I can [[assure]] you there would be a good deal less of the commercial [[point of view]].

Q: Do you find that throughout the world or throughout the [[earth]] itself that people tend towards [[Christmas]]time to [[think]] more of one another and there's more concern about one another?

A: This is talked about a great deal in [[Christian]] countries. There is an [[effort]] made, and there are [[individuals]] who really do apply a religious, a [[spiritual]] meaning to the day. However, on the whole, there is much that could be done and will be done in [[future]] in [[appreciating]] exactly what the [[birth]] of [[the Master]] meant.

Q: As we get closer to [[Light and Life]], will the actual date of [[Jesus]]' [[birthday]] change? Since we know he was born on the [[122:8|21st of August]], will [[Christmas]] stop and more of a birthday [[celebration]] for [[Jesus]] in August happen?

A: This is [[difficult]] to say. [[Eventually]], as more people [[understand]] this may occur among groups. This is strictly a [[human]] [[decision]]; and some may for sentimental reasons even, choose to keep [[Christmas]] for some [[generations]] to come.
