>[!abstract] >**Eutrapelia** (Greek for "wittiness") is one of twelve [[Aristotelian virtues]] referring to conversational wit and playfulness, occupying the "golden mean" between buffoonery and boorishness. It manifests in an adequate use of humor and lightness in social interactions, allowing relaxation and delight, without vulgarity or excess, and is a form of practical wisdom that contributes to friendship, social harmony, and a balanced life. >[!related] >- **North** (upstream): — >- **West** (similar): — >- **East** (different): — >- **South** (downstream): —
