Laughing means to me something that come form the heart.Pure, clear, true, sincere.
The jingle laughing is the best music to my ears. If I hear it, I smile, it gives me pleasure.
I am so blessed to live with 3 very funny people, and to have funny friends. When I was growing up my family laughed all the time; when I had a family of my own we laughed even more. We laughed at ourselves and each other regularly, which makes me laugh just remembering 
LIke smiles and yawns, laughter is contagious.

You are a baby and you stumble or wobble and sit flat on your tail and look up ready to cry and your mom and Dad are laughing.
And it reassures you that you are all right. You are still cute and funny and loved.
They say that 90% of all humor is based in overcoming pain. Laughter is the best medicine.
I always wondered about slapstick comedy. It seems so cruel to laugh at someone who just got bopped, poked in the eye or tripped.
Can you imagine what it was like to have someone to laugh with for the first time?

So kick yourself or fall on your tail and get the giggles. It's good for you. --Linda
I was lucky enough to hear Bernie Segal , author of Author of Love, Medicine & Miracles.
Laughter is almost "critical" to curing cancer among other ailments.

"....since laughter is surely
The surest touch of genius in creation.
Would you ever have thought of it, I ask you,
If you had been making man....would it also
have occurred to you to make him burst himself
With such a phenomenon as cachinnation?
That same laughter, madam, is an irrelevancy
Which almost amounts to revelation."

Laughter is the world's most common language. Don't ever forget to laugh at yourself. If you take yourself too seriously, you are in trouble.

What does it mean "TO LAUGH"?
Did you know that belly laughing exercises your insides... it's like jogging for you liver!
Also, even if the laughter is "fake," just laughing improves one's moods.
So what does it mean to laugh... or have the ability to laugh? (Only human beings can laugh.)
Peace & blessings,
Marge
