Would Humor Make a Difference?

With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, it's essential to have a good sense of humor, just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Could you just imagine what this world would be like if there was no joking around, little snide remarks that brings a smile or a full blown laugh to others. I could never make it through even one, single day without simply fooling around with the people around me, just to pick up our spirits. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps, as the saying goes, makes me feel all good, and warm inside. I like to be able to help raise the spirit of someone is depressed or feeling lonesome.

We need to have humor in every aspect of our lives, just to keep us going, without humor we would be living a long, lonely life. How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, a co-worker, neighbor, close friend, family, or even just someone that you are standing in a lineup at your corner store? I know I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. This not only relieves stress in any situation, it is common courtesy to speak to others that are around you. My Grandma always told me that a stranger is only a friend that you haven't met yet; man do we ever have a lot of friends to meet. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if was the dirtiest job anyone could imaging.

I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor from hearing a great joke, and they would sit there with the slightest smile on their face, they don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I don't know how these people can do it, I hear something funny and I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at us as if we are from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?

Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control, without humor in this world; we would find ourselves with a lot of mental problems, or on a lot of medications to help us from going crazy. There is way too much sadness in this world, we all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives, so our best medicine is to get-together and tell some jokes and have some good clean fun, and laugh a whole lot.
