Prolotheos: “[[Primitive man]], evolved from the lower [[primates]], was rarely capable of [[expressing]] real [[joy]]. Nonetheless, the capacity of [[manifesting]] joyous [[feelings]] has always been a feature of the [[human personality]]. In fact, only after the [[genetic]] upstepping by the [[Adamites]] did humans become more joyful creatures. The sense of the ludicrous is an important [[dimension]] of human life and its regular enjoyment provides the necessary [[equilibrium]] with the more serious and strenuous activities of daily living. The importance of [[entertainment]] activities is well acknowledged in the [[Morontia Worlds]] by the existence of a special recreation corps called the [[Reversion Directors]], whose ministry of diversion is most appreciated by all classes of beings. We may distinguish three primary sources for human [[joy]].

“Joy from [[Entertainment]]. Humans love entertainment. Anything that can [[attract]] their attention and make a pleasurable pastime falls in the category. Inside every person there is a [[child]] who loves to [[play]] and have fun if given the [[opportunity]]. In your present [[technological]] stage, your main source of entertainment is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television television]. However, watching television is a [[passive]] and stationary activity and should be counterbalanced with more [[interactive]] and [[dynamic]] activities like sports and varied sorts of play. Human wit can be greatly enhanced in entertainment and it can be very effective in producing [[mood]] improvement in your [[species]], which is highly beneficial to life in general.

“Joy from [[Accomplishment]]. The drive for accomplishment is the main producer of meaningful [[experiences]] for human beings [[responsible]] for all [[progress]] in human [[civilization]] and, therefore, is an important source of joy. When [[63:2|Andon kindled his first flame of fire]], his [[joy]] was so great that he almost lost the fire in his celebrating it. [[Science]] and [[Arts]] are fields that provide the most [[opportunities]] for achievement and recognition for the individual with consequent joy. However, [[social science]]s and the [[family]] life also can be excellent sources of joy when one [[cares]] for the well-being of his or her [[neighbors]] and family members. Human beings indeed could better realize and better benefit from the great joy that derives from loving one another!
