Laughter is the best natural cure. It makes you stronger, helps you deal with stress and fight with different difficulties. When you are cheerful, you have more friends and people like spending time with you. There are many kinds of laughter and it may have numerous meanings.
We all know that when we are satisfied with something, the first thing we do is smile. We laugh when we are happy, when someone does something funny or when we want others to accept us. Laughter may be noisy, bright, coarse, squeaky or thunderous. Everyone laughs in a different way. Laughter is believed to have nearly magic power. It is the great therapy foe our souls and psyches. In the USA there are hospitals employing clowns to make the patients laugh. It has been proved that when we laugh, we get healthy much quicker and our body is much stronger.
In the USA and in some countries of Western Europe, there were professional clinics opened, in which patients are trained to come over their problems and deal with them laughing.
Laughter not only cures our souls, but it helps to strengthen our bodies as well.
When we laugh, all bad emotions go away, we are in a better mood and we feel less pain. There are endorphins produced in our brain, which are called by many the 'hormones of happiness'. It has been proved that those, aho laugh more often, are healthier and live longer.
Laughing is the best physical exercise. It sets in motion each muscle in the body. The blood starts to circulate faster. The hart works much more effectively. The breath gets faster, the brain gets more oxygen and we can think much better. People, who laugh rarely, are often very pessimistic and too sensitive. They think too much about bad things that happen to them. It is difficult for them to cope with stress and problems. If they smiled more, they would suffer less.
It is important to mention that laughter is not always a good thing. It may be destroyable. There are people, who may laugh straight into others' faces. It makes those, who are laughed at totally unable to defend themselves. It is much better to laugh with people than to laugh at them.
Cheerful people attract others. It is almost magical. They don't have to say much, it is enough that they laugh honestly.
There are situations, when it is very difficult to smile and laugh. When we are in good psychical condition, it makes no difficulty for us. But the greatest ability is to laugh at yourself and at your problems. When you are able to laugh at the difficulties, it means that you can control then and yourself as well.
Summing up, I will remind you the very old maxim- 'When you cry, cry alone. Laugh and the world laugs with you'.
