Of Wit And Humour

In these uncertain and troubled times, nothing is more appreciated than some laughter. Laughter might not solve our problems, but it provides a few minutes of relaxation, and distraction from all the negative news that is going around.

It is also said that a sense of humour can give our immunity system a boost. So, laugh whenever you can. It is cheap medicine.

May your days be filled with laughter.

Laughter, The Best Medicine

Laughter is our reflex to something that tickles our funny bone, something which we find amusing; it is when we find, or see the humour – in a joke, an action or a situation.

It doesn’t matter what kind of humour you indulge in, whether you revel in the coarsest puns or dwell on nihilistic black humour. As long as you engage in this type of activity you keep your mind working, sharp and nimble. It is a prevention against depression, a truly therapeutic agent of positive self healing.

Whatever humour works for you, it is great. The important thing is to have a sense of humour. And not to lose your sense of humour no matter how tough life gets.
