The gods laugh at our attempts to adapt to their laws. So we invent new gods. laughing gods. They could, like the old gods, be laughing at us; but they might also be laughing at the laws or the old gods themselves. Whatever it is they're amused by, we'd be wise to laugh along at the failing crop yield, the flood, the drought, the war and the pestilence. What entertains the gods should entertain the king and the people in turn. No one laughs in fear.
