Several times in the history of the world particular countries and cities or even small
groups of people have attained a high degree of civilization. Yet none of these
civilizations, important they were, have lasted and one of the reasons why they did not
least was that they were confined to a very few people. They were like little oasis of
civilization on deserts of barbarism. Now it is no good being civilized if everybody round
about you is barbarous, or rather it is some good but it is very risky. For the barbarians
are always liable to break in on you, and with their greater numbers and rude vigor scatter

from the hills and burning and killing and destroying whatever they found in the plains.

11. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :
You are endowed with certain naughtiness as a child. Keep it alive. Humour will grease
all tough situations. One who has humour can sail through any conflict. Humour is the
buffer that saves you from humiliation. If you refuse to be humiliated, you become
invincible. Humour brings everyone together, while humiliation tears them apart. In a
society torn with humiliation and insult, humour is like a breath of fresh air. Humour
should be coupled with care and concern. Humour can keep the spirit high, yet if
overdone it leaves a bad taste. Humour without wisdom is shallow. Humour without
sensitivity is satire?it comes back to you with more problems. The wise use humour to
bring wisdom and to lighten situations. The intelligent use humour as a shield against
humiliation. The cruel use of humour as a sword to insult others. The irresponsible use of
humour to escape from responsibility. And fools take humour too seriously! How does
one cultivate a sense of humour? Humour is not just words, it is the Lightness of your
being. You do not have to read and repeat jokes. Humour can be cultivated by taking life
not too seriously (because you will never come out of it alive), having a sense of
belongingness with everybody, including those who are not friendly, practising Yoga and
meditation, having unshakable faith in the Divine and in the laws of Karma, being in the
company of those who live in knowledge and are humorous, a willingness to be a clown.
a) What can save you from humiliation?
b) What does excessive humour do?
c) How can we cultivate a sense of humour?
d) Use ?invincible? and ?humiliation? in your own sentences. (1?3+2)
