One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.

Electric Christmas tree lights were first used in 1895. The idea for using electric Christmas lights came from an American, Ralph E. Morris. The new lights proved safer than the traditional candles.
WOLFIES QUESTION OF THE DAY
I enjoy playing lots of videogames, reading and watching TV
These things are my hobbies and usually make me happy.
It seems, however, that most philosophical thought says to disregard things like this because they instill a false sense of happiness in us; that they are temporary, material things that satisfy the senses and should be discarded in favor of supposed "real" things that have a lasting value.
Take Plato's cave allegory, for example. Are the things that I like simply shadows, fooling me from real happiness?
Because I fill my free time with these things, am I living in ignorance of what real happiness could be?
Is there any value from engaging in these activities at all?
