ah...i forgot to type actually...i guess its parallel to Luke 6:25,
"Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep."

in my opinion, "laugh" should not be taken literally. if not, everyone is going to hell cause we do laugh now and then.:P

i guess it means that we should not be caught up in the world and enjoy ourselves till we forget about God. we must make God the center of our lives and all that we do and not just to indulge ourselves excessively. Can check the "Parable of the Rich Fool" in Luke 12:13-21 .
