Laugh .. Laugh.
Deep Spiritual and Healing Emotion.
He will still fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with joy. Job 8:21
Laughter is the sun that scares away the winter of the human face.
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French novelist.
Our society is increasingly serious, troubled and anguished. The news every day multiplies and makes our sky darker and darker, presaging an unprecedented storm. We put our hands to our heads and our heartbeats seem to increase.
It is true that life is serious but for the same reason we should not take it so seriously and we need to learn to stop on the way to oxygenate the mind and spirit with the healthy remedy of laughter.
The Psalmist put it this way: "Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with praise. Then they said among the nations: "Great things the Lord has done with these!" »Psalm 126: 2
Laughter is a deep spiritual emotion and therefore is healing.
Laughter is an integral part of emotional health.
Laughter is a gift from God. I do not believe what Nietzche said:
"Man suffers so terribly in the world that he has been forced to invent laughter." Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) German philosopher.
It was not the man who invented laughter, it was the Creator who put it in the heart to light the face when the pain is felt on the lips.
Growing and maturing is a process of learning about life until we see daily issues in context and one of those blessings that make us mature is knowing how to laugh and let the joy of the spirit be released amid the pressures of life .
Psychologists and psychiatrists are finally taking the sense of humor and laughter very seriously as means of internal healing. The truth is that laughter and good humor is a very serious matter in the short term.
"Laughter keeps us more reasonable than anger".
Duke of Levis (1755-1830) Pedro Marcos Gastón. French writer
Today, doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists find in their research a great connection between good humor, happiness and health.
While children laugh an average of 300 times a day, adults laugh an average of 15 times a day. That's why the headaches have increased ?.
"Blessed are ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh". Jesus-Luke 6:21.
God has given us the ability to laugh. We know that laughter is an intricate and complex phenomenon but it has incredible beneficial effects.
"When you laugh, your mind, body and spirit change" Marc Twain.
It has already been proven that marriages that know how to laugh often rarely end in divorce.
Laughter is a subconscious liberator of tension. Today's world is intensely concerned about the economy, nuclear missiles, taxes and other news and that has made us humans walk the streets like time bombs ready to explode.
"The human race has a truly effective weapon: laughter."
Mark Twain (1835-1910) Writer and American journalist.
The next time you meet someone who is tense, smile and tell a joke. You will make your face shine. The bad feelings disappear when in the middle of an argument a joke arrives to make us see how absurd the fight was.
When people laugh together they feel more united and can survive the hard moments of life more easily than those who do not stop to laugh.
And we even learn to laugh at each other from time to time because in the long run that builds self-acceptance and lowers stress levels in a very decisive way.
"Who does not know from time to time to laugh at himself, has not yet understood the joke"
However, we learn to laugh healthily. Never make jokes that ridicule other human beings or that are based on physical defects. No jokes of double meaning that stimulate lust or morbid.
On a deeper level, laughter and good humor are the great gift of God to free us from the tension in life.
Laughter is an opportunity to transcend the limitations that blind us to see God more clearly.
• Learn to use laughter to keep the disturbances of life in a balanced proportion.
• Laughter scares away depression, pain and despair.
• Laughter gives us energy and leads us to give us a parenthesis in life.
"How many things are there in a laugh! It is the secret key with which an entire man is deciphered. "Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) English historian, thinker and essayist.
• When was the last time you enjoyed a good time of laughter and companionship?
• Are they taking life very seriously?
• Do not you think Jesus had a good sense of humor with his disciples?
• Why do not you dare to break the boredom of your existence to learn to laugh with others?
• The next time you meet someone who seems to have shadows invaded his face, I invite you to bring him some light and smile with a healthy joke of life that makes him have oxygen in his mind and I assure you that you will end up laughing with peace in your soul.
"It is true that we chose to laugh in almost all situations, except for the occasional visit to the dentist." Joseph Heller (1923-1999) American writer.
