“If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done.” Ludwig Wittgenstein.
The meaning of the word silly has changed over the centuries. It used to mean harmless, innocent, inoffensive, lacking malice or airs. We prefer that meaning to the more recent derogatory uses as there are plenty of negative words already… and no other word that does quite as well as silly and silliness.
Silliness encourages:
creativity, abstract thought, flexibility, laughter, wellbeing, positive thinking, energy, trust
Silliness is an antidote for:
stress, pomposity, pretentiousness, self-importance, self-absorption, embarrassment, fear, anger, negativity
