Imagine a day without humor. A day without a laugh or a giggle. Not even a hint of a smile. I am sure that for most imagination is not needed. I am sure we have all had a day exempt from humor. Naturally these humor free days are not enjoyable.

The absence of humor on a daily basis would be just one more tragedy for society to deal with. Like there isn't enough already to deal with.

Turn on any news channel and there is not much more than death and destruction combined with violence and crime.

If there is any hope of sanity to remain with us all, daily humor should be made mandatory immediately!

There is more truth to the old saying 'Laughter is the best medicine' than an old wife would have you believe. Laughter triggers the body to release feel good hormones know as endorphins. Studies are showing that releasing these hormones has positive implications for wellness, disease-prevention and most certainly stress-reduction.

People for the most part want to lead a happy existence. Life is meant to be a journey filled with happiness and joy. Having a sense of humor can bring this to life in more ways than one.

For example it is humor that makes us laugh when all goes wrong. Sure it is easy not to have humor around but life is much better when humor is present.

The healing qualities of humor are seen best in the kids with cancer organizations such as Camp Quality. Here a group that deals with children who have terminal illness advocates above all else that the best medicine is a healthy dose of humor. There have been cases of great improvements in health after a Camp Quality camp.

True humor is completely made up of goodness. There is no harming anyone, there is no pain or injustice. True humor is something that we need all need every day
