"Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth"

This quote by Umberto Eco recommends that those who enjoy mankind needs to focus on making people make fun of the fact, and making fact laugh. This is since the only truth lies in finding out to complimentary ourselves from our ridiculous enthusiasm for the reality. This suggests that we must not be so obsessed with finding the absolute fact, but instead concentrate on discovering our own truth and understanding. It recommends that we ought to be open to various viewpoints and ideas, and not be so rigid in our beliefs. It also suggests that we ought to be able to make fun of ourselves and our beliefs, and not take ourselves too seriously. Eventually, this quote motivates us to be open-minded and to be happy to accept different facts, instead of holding on to one outright fact.
