Meaning
This reads as a small defense of pure distraction as a gift. It can be taken to mean that humor is not trivial at all, because sometimes the kindest thing is to give someone a short break from their own worries. That lands in the middle of a hard day, when a well-timed silly show or line can feel less like escape and more like care.
