"Humor" is a word with many meanings.
.
In the Middle Ages meant among other things, one of the four major body fluids that determined the human characters (sanguine, phlegmatic, choleric, melancholic). Existing definitions in the dictionary are: "quality of being laughable or comical", "a state of mind, nature, spirit."
The root of the word comes from Umor, meaning liquid or fluid. And in physiology still means "any clear or transparent body such as blood, lymph, or bile."
.
Accordingly, the humor at all levels is something that flows, like water and symbolizes the movement of unconscious forces that are expressed in the body, the reactions emotional, mind and spirit.
sense of humor, however, is a more elusive, referred to as "sensed or acquired perception or ability to appreciate or understand, which is revealed as something that we also understand as common sense and whose perception goes against the "stupid nonsense."
Schopenhauer defined sense of humor as the only divine quality of man.

Most people do not think the essential difference between the sense of humor and simple reactions to any situation funny.
.
Many things can lead to laughter, whether we have a sense of humor or not. But the quality of laughter is very different in those "who appreciate and understand."
.
Unless he has experienced the darkness of the soul, can not find anything of that transforming laughter without which there can be sensed, an indication of the unity of opposites (Do not you wonder how you can laugh and mourn at the same time?).

laughter As an effect of common sense, we evidence opposing forms of spiritual development.
.
In one, laughter hides a bitter rejection or contempt destructive, this is where we are part of the "stupid nonsense" feeding it and succumbing to it.
.
In the other, and laughter would be transmuted or put another way, would the result have the ability to understand and know how to respond when confronted with situations life's dark, serenity and humility

If, as hinted at Einstein, stupidity human has no limits, we can never escape the "stupid nonsense" surrounding us, but we can avoid being your servers if we use this antidote given us by the gods, the sense of humor .
