There is such phenomenon in our life, namely laughter, without which human existence is almost impossible to imagine. It relates to means of communication that make us joyful day by day. From my point of view, laughter is the most beautiful thing in the world. From birth, we have learned to smile at our parents, relatives, and friends. Laughter brings us joy and unforgettable sensations because it is good for us and those around us. When we laugh and feel joy, our body receives another dose of positivity, and life seems beautiful and surprising with all the colors of the rainbow. Laughter is medicine, a weapon, and connecting thread.
Laughter helps a person to recognize and devalue what is alien and hostile to them in society because fun is salvation from troubles. Moreover, laughter helps to survive and support others in need. In addition, it also enables to expose the enemy, devalue and destroy problems since laughter tells false claims to power or significance; that is, it shows the genuine insignificance of the insignificant. Humorists and satirists are famous figures because they create a massive illusion of control, the ability of society to crush the enemy with laughter. Essentially, laughter is also a pill for conflicts and quarrels. If an angry person sees the funny side of the problem, they will simply laugh. Needless to say, humor is an excellent mediator, communicator, and negotiator. When we laugh together, we tune in to the same wavelength and understand each other better.
People who have a sense of humor always have a wider circle of surroundings and are more welcoming. People who laugh more often are friendly. To find a reason to laugh, you do not have to look for funny pictures or comics. One has only to remember funny episodes from our life because they remain in our life forever.
For instance, I like to laugh when watching a funny movie and listening to a funny story. I enjoy walking with friends, laughing heartily, fooling around! When you laugh, it means everything is fine, you are happy! People say laughter prolongs life; therefore, I laugh sincerely and almost to tears. It is impossible to describe this process. Suddenly you feel so good and clear, the joke seems very funny, just brilliant, and your shoulders twitch, your stomach hurts, there is not enough air, your cheeks are red as if they had been rubbed for a long time. It happens that in a quarrel, you laugh, and it becomes more manageable, the situation is discharged. It seems to me that it is good to be self-ironic and turn troubles into something funny. When I am sad, I try to remember the joke and smile. The main thing is that the laugh is real, and the trick is good-natured.
Laughter makes the sun shine brighter and the sky bluer. When we laugh, our brain releases endorphins or the hormone of happiness. This hormone is responsible for our good mood and allows us to experience the pleasure of life. My father says that with humor and a smile, you can solve any situation. My grandmother often says that “laughter heals the soul.” After all, he laughed – and that’s it, all the problems have disappeared somewhere!
I have always believed that laughter unites people with a thin thread, creating a spiritual connection. I can describe this warmth of laughter with the word ‘happiness’. The truth is that all good things begin with laughter, even friendship and love, and the creation of a family.
Laughter is the thread that unites people that has connected my family too. Important to mention that my parents met each other at college. They became best friends because of laughter. My dad has always had a good sense of humor and found funny things in every situation. When he saw my mother, he fell in love with her at first sight and decided to win her heart with his jokes. She was tall, slender and he lovingly called her a cute flamingo because she had long legs. They laughed every day, shared moments from their lives, and were incredibly happy. Even now, after so many years, if they quarrel, dad tells a funny joke, and everything falls into place. Thanks to him, I realized how important laughter is in our life.
Consequently, the ability to laugh with other people is vital in establishing good and supportive relationships. The point is that the general idea of several people about what can be funny allows them to be more open-minded with each other. To raise the level of trust between you and another person, you need to laugh together. No matter what, the process itself is essential. Laughter breaks down the psychological barriers between you, and the atmosphere becomes much more friendly.
Once my parents and I went on a short trip by car to visit our relatives. We left late and were insanely late, so my mother asked us to go faster. The road was long and tiring, and the sun shone mercilessly through the windows. The car stopped accidentally; there was not a soul around, only wild nature. My mother was distraught and started crying because she did not want to be late. My father reassured her and told me that this was nonsense and we would fix the car quickly. My father is such a person who finds a way out of any situation and does not lose heart. It turned out that we had a punctured wheel, so the car could not go further. My father and I turned on music and, dancing and laughing, changed wheels. Necessary to add, as my mother watched us, her mood began to improve. As a result, my mother got out of the car and started dancing too. Laughter can fix the saddest situations, and I understand that. I still remember how we danced with the whole family around our car in the middle of nowhere with a smile.
Besides, I try never to be sad, and if it becomes impossible, I remember this situation, and my soul starts to sing. What tremendous power laughter possesses, it can heal the deepest wounds. When nothing can help a person, you need to make them laugh. Above all, I noticed that the most critical events in life are associated with laughter because we dare when we feel good.
I believe that every day of ours should be filled with laughter and joy. Our life is so short and unpredictable that it can end any day. That is why we need to fill our everyday life with laughter and share positive emotions with loved ones and relatives. Laughter is beautiful in all its manifestations because it shortens the distance between people and is the main component of relationships.
