you should rememner that mudita, sympathetic joy, is one of the four brhamaviharas.
perhaps it would be better to know who you are speaking with first before telling him/her what to do.

mudita is appreciative joy, rejoicing in the good fortune and happiness of others.
karuna is compassion, the true wish for other's suffering to cease.
not laughing at the suffering of others would more likely fall under karuna than mudita.

Well LFJ as you wish to choose between mudita and karuna. Anyway i think it is very important to restrain one's feelings when there is so much suffering. Would you laugh while your neighbor is dying without medicine? The same goes with dancing, i think it is a good rule for monks and people on retreat not to dance. Would you dance while your friend is sent to jail for his political ideas or while he has been shot on a terrorist attack in the streets of Bagdad or Gaza?
I think some austerity is worthwile if you have compassion for the suffering of every sentient being.

Just because there is suffering in the world does not mean we all have to be depressed. In fact I would see that as a greater opportunity for us to generate a better sense of humor.
Lighten up Liutangsanzang. Seriously (lol), just let go and let the world be the world. No human being can be so intense for so long, we just don't work that way.
