The joker of the early 20th century claims that a day without laughter is futile. Laughter brings the joy within our heart- someone who laughs shows us that he/she has a positive view of life. We all savor laughing and we all have a warm joyous feeling after doing so. It is said that laughter is the best medicine. Then why not laugh? We take life too seriously and sometimes we even despise it. We forget about the good things in life and we are plunged into our own world of negativity and cold,limitless darkness. Yes, we live in a media-rich and industrious world where we have limited time to laugh. Yet, I believe laughing is essential and a day with laughter is a day full of joy,optimism and all the other factors that make life worth living, whereas a day without laughter is a day full of nothingness-a day that is wasted. Therefore, I believe laughter is definitely something worth fighting for.
The sound of laughter is far more contagious than any cough or sneeze. It binds people together with joy and enhances intimacy greatly. Nowadays, many people who are serious and stressed think of others who tend to laugh as halfwits and as inconsiderate. Yet, a person who laughs is optimistic and therefore excels in life. Also, if you are the one laughing you will never think of yourself as foolish or inconsiderate. In addition to laughter being something positive and having an inevitable "knock on" effect of happiness it also inflicts change on various health issues. It gives you an ideal amount of energy, it extinguishes pain and most importantly it conquers stress! Also, according to a recent scientific study, laughter limits the perilous risks of heart attacks drastically. If laughter is something easy and enjoyable and if it is advantageous due to the fact that it helps strengthen your immune system and rids you of health problems then why not laugh? Laughter is a miraculous thing that is beneficial and this exemplifies how laughter in general makes life far better.
Furthermore, laughter is something worth fighting for because it will spark positive change in our world of today. Today, we dwell in a modern world full of magnificent buildings and an unbelievable quantity of technology. However, I believe this is the very thing that makes everything so very complex. We lose sight of simplicity and we appear to perform repetitive and apathetic actions. We stay engrossed with our fancy,new media products,we stress about things far too much, we barely have any time to rest we are so focused on what we're doing that laughing is an improbable task. Yet, laughing is something beautiful that we fail to acknowledge. Laughing could be something private, it could be a hidden smile or a little chuckle it sometimes happens abruptly and naturally. When our words slur we laugh, we laugh when we do something wrong. Laughter is the simple solution to everything. When things are dark,gloomy,sad-when you are trapped in negativity's cold embrace you must laugh. Go home read some jokes,call up some friends do something hilarious, just laugh. Laugh and you will forget everything, you will be reborn and ready to face the challenges life has to offer with a positive attitude. This demonstrates that laughter is the most simplest solution and how it brings out the greatest things in life.
You may disagree. You might think I'm wrong. You may believe that there are better, more significant things to do in life. Nobody seems to talk about anything positive. Everybody babbles about things such as Global Warming, poverty in Africa and basically the end of the world. I feel so demoralized and depressed when I walk past a group of people who have their heads down and are isolated from everyone else, in their own little,closed world. I feel like joy elbowed me in the stomach and said how I'm just insane and how laughing is completely pointless. But I don't care I laugh anyways. I laugh as loud as possible. Some people stare at me so intensely that it feels like a slap in the face. However, I can see the smiles that appear on some of them and I can hear their giggles and that is when I know that for that exact moment of laughter they forget everything they were worrying about and together we lose ourselves in the hearty feeling of joy. And I know what I did was right and that I might as well have changed that person's day. Laughter hugs us closely together and it shares everything positive and wonderful about life optimism,joy and friendship. This tells us how laughter is something that has a positive impact on life and once again how it makes life worth living.
Laugh. Laugh and live a better live. A life that is without laughter is a life of boredom and a life full of the one thing that drags us down and never enables us to perform better in life,negativity. If you want to live life as a person who is negative, a pessimist. If you want to live a life full of anger,sorrow,misery,desperation and all those other factors that compose a horrific life then don't laugh. You will begin to hate life. Curse it. But if you just forget all the troubles of the world if you just want to let go and flee from the relentless blitz of worries and fears than just take a second to laugh. Feel it overwhelm you-feel the joy flow through you and once your done. You actually will want to face the obstacles of life you won't just sit down and cry,you will laugh your way through all the obstacles that hinder you in your path of success. Laughter is something worth fighting for, it is something beautiful and healthy. So let go and just laugh. And feel its magical spell.
"A sense of humor......is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life."
-Hugh Sidney
