But you said that sacredness and fun cancel each other out. So they must be opposites. Something that's the opposite of fun is misery -- how can you NOT abhor misery?
We just might have different opinions as to what is sacred.
Possibly. What does "sacred" mean to you? What do you mean when you use that word?

No it isn't. When someone isn't having fun, that doesn't mean they are miserable. It doesn't mean they are even sad. It means, more closely, that they are serious.

When I say something is "sacred," I mean that it is worthy of serious thought, reflection and contemplation; that it is something not to be "sniffed" at or dismissed easily. The sacred evokes a serious emotion within one; it is something that has deep meaning and value; something that one values for its own sake. The sacred evokes a powerful serious emotion and I just can't see where "fun" enters into it.
