“A good sense of humor is one of the most important human qualities”

There are a lot of features that make humans more superior than animals. Some of them are the human qualities such as morality, honesty, humorousness, humility, sympathy, etc… It is said that amongst the above qualities, a good sense of humor is one of the most important. I don’t think that this statement is true because one can become a respectful person without a sense of humor and humorousness in some cases may become a drawback.

To begin, sense of humor is one of the important human qualities but not the most important. People always want to be around someone that makes them smile. However, no one values a person just by his sense of humor. There is no problem if a good human being is not humorous at all.

Furthermore, in some special situations, humorousness can be a disaster. Take some cases in the office for example; a funny guy can easily makes his boss angry when he is not concentrating on his work but joking with the other colleagues. In addition, sense of humor is not suitable for some positions with lots of power because these people need strictness and seriousness to deal with subordinates.

In summary, sense of humor is absolutely not the most important human qualities. A humorous person is not always considered to be a good human being and he can even offend others if he is not careful with words.
