Laughter is a glimpse of the passion that exists in our lives. It is that passion, that deep love and embracing of life that cures both our bodies and souls. Passion, in this society, is not something we're told to look for within our own lives. Unless we have a certain combination of those things we are not encouraged to love our lives. For the struggling patient of cancer or some other chronic disease that love of life seems even further away.
Inner strength is lost before it can even start.
In sickness and in health. Laughter calls you to love your life. That is how it heals. Part of what gives laughter credence is, when we laugh, we let ourselves go. We are not so much in control anymore.
