Think about all the reactions that make you feel happy. One is seeing someone smile a big smile. And the other is hearing someone laugh, especially if they laugh loudly and really enjoy the moment of unbridled giggle-ocity. Laughter is a great, cathartic release of emotion and it leaves us feeling so upbeat and relaxed and positive. So why don't we find more ways to laugh, more opportunities to motivate someone else to laugh? And why don't we laugh more at ourselves and the silly things we do or the mistakes we make or the dumb stuff we say rather than getting all uptight and snitty about what happens. It would be hard to be at war, perpetrating a crime, victimizing someone in our family or acquaintance, being mean or vindictive or otherwise negative if we were in a good mood because we'd laughed or we were in the middle of a good chortle or two. Who needs the UN or troops if we could just find some good (not dirty or vulgar) comedians to lighten the mood and put things in perspective.
I will do my part by walking onto my front porch in the early morning before I do anything to my hair. I resemble a very bad troll doll who has been experimenting with electricity when I first get up. My entire neighborhood will be laughing and having a better day as a result of my willingness to show the world who I really am...well, of course, except for the neighbors with weak hearts...they might literally have the last laugh.
