Being physically/visually attractive and or funny people say is how you gain some ones attention and or interest. Both of those things are relatively superficial. Physical appearance is in most cases temporal and many times based on fads or fashion. Being funny or entertaining can last longer than physical appeal.
Entertainment in the broadest interpretation gives us an escape from the thoughts that burden us. We turn off our brain and allow the video, music, literature, speech, painting, sculpture, tour guide etc to take us into a different reality. Take for instance a most horrible example of slaves in America working and singing. Though their situation is horrific, they are aware that they must work or die. So to take some of the edge of and comfort themselves through their entire life of suffering they sing.
Without entertainment everything becomes more real. More in-your-face, or more in your head. Thinking about the difficult things causes you to either go into a depression(which includes acceptance imo), or causes you to act to cure the problem.
The example of slavery is extreme, but we all try to take the edge off reality in some way. We know what the problems are but just want to escape for a moment in our minds. We don’t want to, or are unable to fix the issues. For most of us its the former. We just don’t want to. This is a ultimately destructive behavior as the problems remain and wear on you. Instead of saving yourself the anguish by immediately tackling and removing the problem.
Suicide is never a solution. It is just allowing the enemy to destroy you completely. Murder is definitely not a solution as you will end up in jail. Additionally murder on a sick and crass level, does not agree with a vegan lifestyle jk. I only mention these things as we sometimes find justification where it is not present.
A love interest may be funny and/or attractive but that may be a cover for other flaws. Someone told me once that the first thing a con-man does is tell you a joke. So in my opinion, while you are laughing just keep in mind that we all have an agenda and the main agenda is not to make life unsustainable or more difficult than it already is. Don’t get distracted.
