@BlueGreenGrey It might be his or some variation of his philosophies☺We have turned the sage philosopher into a comic as well and I would not be surprised to know that he had a great sense of humor. I think of him as having sat upon a rock near a road, observing people's behavior as they passed by and surely, he felt both the need to cry and at other times the need to laugh☺

@BlueGreenGrey Yes, I have seen those, some jokes are actually funny but yes, I guess they want to get into the character and not think that exaggerating accents could hurt feelings.
I think a wise man doesn't become one unless he is a well-rounded individual able to feel all kinds of emotions and understand them. I think what sets them apart is their having reached a high level of temperance, something common people like so many of us may have a hard time achieving. I have read he had a son, although I haven't come across much information about him. I'd like to think Confucius imparted his wisdom to his son and one of the ways to have a healthy frame of mind is by having a sense of humor...so I'm sure they had some good laughs together ☺
