Surprising depth from Stephen Colbert:
4:15 "Sadness is a [small] emotional death but [it's] not defeat; if you can find a way to laugh about it. Because that laughter keeps you from having fear of it, and fear keeps you from turning to evil devices to save you from the sadness.
"As Robert Hayden said, "We must not be frightened nor cajoled into accepting evil as our deliverance from evil, we must accept our humanity, though monsters of abstraction police and threaten us. If there's a relationship between my faith and comedy, it's that you are never defeated and you must see thisin the light of eternity, and find some way to love and laugh with each other."
