Could the missing ingredient be suffering?
Genesis 21:6 tells us that laughter is an appropriate response to God's blessings, Job 8:21 promises laughter for those afflicted by Satan, and Psalm 126:2 says laughter is a sign to unbelieving nations that God has done great things for us. Maybe it's the other recipe that's lacking something. Maybe it's lacking joy.
