The essay explores how Mark Twain’s humor stems from conviction and a moral critique of life’s pretensions. It contrasts Twain with Will Rogers, notes humor’s link to religion, and argues humor preserves sanity by revealing people as frail beings rather than as rigid icons. It concludes humor is a divine grace guarding against unreality.
