Laughter is a key to happiness. Yep, in fact,
laughter is the most important aspect to being happy -- no Prozac
required! We often forget that laughter is a very essence of our spirit.
Laughter relates to communication, too. When we greet one
another in America we say "Hello" which is similar to the Hawaiian's
"Aloha".ff14 gilAlo

Farrell's article on Forgiveness for more about Aloha.) The expression
Hello was probably originally Ha llo... !
Look at the
efforts people will put into making other people laugh. We have TV
shows such as David Letterman, Jay Leno, Saturday Night Live, Seinfeld,
Friends, The Simpsons, Cheers, etc., which all strive to make people
laugh.FFXIV Power leveling
A whole category of films are classified as comedies. Why? People love
to laugh! Clowns at the circus dress funny and do goofy things to make
kids (and adults) laugh, sometimes until they cry.
In
theatre, there is the happy, laughing face always portrayed opposite
the sad, crying face (comedy & tragedy). William Shakespeare
utilized both in his plays. While we have the tense tragedy in Hamlet,
Macbeth or Othello we have the humor in Midsummer Night's Dream or Much
Ado About Nothing. Yet, even in tragedy, humor is often used to relax
the audience during the most tense moments. Alfred Hitchcock was a
master of utilizing humor in tense moments in his films of the 40's,
50's and 60's.
In business settings, I have found that when a
manager or customer has asked me a question and I felt completely at a

There is a time and a place for humor. If we run around laughing in a
church when someone just died we might offend (I've always hoped people
would laugh at my funeral though).
Here are 5 ways to incorporate more laughter (and more power of HA) into your life:
If you feel goofy, let it out.
Feel free to encourage someone through laughing with them.
Watch more comedies than tragedies (or certainly than horror).
Listen to music or read a book that makes you laugh.
Start laughing for no reason at all. (ok, be careful where you try this one - don't want you to get locked away!)
If you computer just crashed maybe that was nature's way of playing a
little joke on you. Rather than get mad, laugh it off! Ok, easier said
than done - it happened to me in June, 2000 (and again in February,
2001! - O.K., this was not as funny the second time!). Certainly there
are things we can smile and laugh about during the event, rather than
after it occurs. Laughter will nourish your soul. Let your eyes smile
and twinkle like the eyes of a child. If you've forgotten how to laugh,
go to a park and watch children play. They laugh about all kinds of
goofy things.runescape money Unserious your life and let laughter back in -- and watch as you become happier, the natural way.
