The meaning of 'levity'
There are villains out there of infinitely greater consequence than the one I’m about to describe, and the news of late teems with them. But surely we still have the levity, and the taste buds, to look past the White House and beyond Hollywood and tremble before a lesser boogeyman.
Would you explain the meaning of the 'levity' in this context? I looked up a few dictionaries but I am still not sure of the meaning here.
