Which of these is the main idea of the poem?

a. take pride in being a human being.
b. music makes people happy.
c. life is short; laugh and be merry.
d. fighting doesn't resolve problems.

laugh and be merry, remember, better the world with a song,
better the world with a blow in the teeth of a wrong.
laugh, for the time is brief, a thread the length of a span.
laugh and be proud to belong to the old proud pageant of man.
