Adults were intended to do the same. When we can play with our pain, we laugh. When we laugh, we shift our perspective and problems shrink to a manageable size. We don't diminish importance, but we are less overwhelmed. If waves of laughter were sweeping the land, waves of violence would not be possible.
Laughter is warm, bonding, and contagious.
We need to connect with those we love and with our fellow human beings. We need to feel good. We need to feel safe. We need to laugh more. Anyone can join the laughter movement.
