I think there's a lot to be said for being in the presence of higher souls. Here in Australia we miss out on the contact with the monastics (they visit every 2 years or so) but there are quite a few meditation groups.
Laughing at the cruel bitterness of life can be an advantage if done in the right spirit...one of surrender. Sometimes you just have to trust that She knows best and accept whatever medicine She serves up. The more you protest the more bitter it seems to taste. Acceptance in a spirit of surrender can be like 'a spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down'. Mary Poppins always knows best!

Nice seeing you around again. Like your attitude! The sugar helps it go down. The sugar we create with our attitude of surrender!
