Conceptionless, naked, empty awareness is our natural state. From there, anything and everything can and will happen. When the noose of concepts finally breaks, we play with concepts and roles and act until "doer and deed are refined until they're gone." As you ponder, "If nothing else, might we laugh more readily?" Yes, the Bellowing Laugh of the Dakini! Sometimes it's an inside joke though. Most people are not there and will not appreciate the humor in both pleasure and pain. It's an act of compassion to play along, sometimes even with your our own neuroses. Going beyond hope and fear, or at least the willingness and commitment to, we find only Love! Sometimes the expressions of this Love are peaceful, sometimes wrathful, just like actions of a good Mother. We become the Great Mother. We already are Her.
