The world has been too sad recently with all the clamor, stress and distrust. Can we just take things easier and laugh more?

Laughter is said to be a panacea, and is also infectious. This is healthy to us and also can improve our moods.

Laughter is like any cold or flu, it is contagious! However, it is harmless and it even connects people together. When we laugh, we feel relaxed. There is no longer sadness nor depression.

Laughter do exert positive effects on your body. Laughter and Humor are remedies to tension and pain. A good laugh triggers several reactions. It eases our pain temporarily and activates the release of endorphins. Blood vessels also dilate and there is an increase in blood flow. Having a good laugh help you forget any sadness, anxiety and anger.

The positive impact of laughter is even greater if you share it with people. Just imagine how enjoyable it can be to share your laughter with a group of people. When you laugh together, the feeling that you actually belong to the group would become much stronger. With all the laughter, the world suddenly becomes so perfect that you wish you can just stop forever at that precious moment.

Occasionally, a laugh can make others laugh because it is really hilarious. Not because of the joke itself, but the way how people laugh. Some folks laugh in a amusing way that brings out a harmonious atmosphere with more laughter. We feel relieved when we have a good laugh.

Laughter is so important that it can become a business. Think about all those clowns or comedians, they earn a living by making people laugh. We need humor so much because it helps us to escape from all the pressure in our lives.

We sometimes forget how to laugh and it is quite sad. I wish those layoffs, foreclosures, wars and political policies could cease for a while. It is time for us to laugh again and enjoy different kinds of comedy variety shows!
