When I'm happy I feel like crying, but when I'm sad i don't feel like laughing. I think its;s better to be happy. Then you get two feelings for the price of one. - Lily Tomlin as Edith Ann

Researched believe that a major source of violence is due to people's inability ro cry. Crying is an importnat part of our pain. loss, and grief. It is one of the primary ways the body relieves tension when under pressure. However, even though we should let ourselves cry when we are upset, we should not keep sticking to it and narrow our vision of our current situation. Because crying involves alot of outlet of negative feelings and causes us to think towards that way more. But if we are able to turn around the situation and look at the humourous side of things, we might be able to see a bigger picture of everything.

Laughter is a very unused and despised tool in the adult world. When we are kids, we are often told by adults, "Settle down", "When are you going to grow up?" when we do something stupid and laugh about it. This deter us from laughing at mistakes we have done and be more serious about it. Seriousness in adulthood represents godliness and laughter makes us look immature. However, we forget that laughter actually helps us to forget about the pain at that moment in time. It gives us a different prespective and make us look at the greater picture. Sometimes it might be even a blessing in disguise. Laughter actually help us to move on in life and ease alot of our pain.

Of course its not possible to see humour in every situation and also not possible to laugh at every situation as well. There are of course times whereby its just not the right time to laugh. However, we must try to learn to identify situation whereby humour is possible. But there is no need to try too hard. Sometimes when we look back at certain mistkaes in our life, we will tend to laugh at it as well. This also helps us to ease the pain. So it does not neccesary has to be at the moment kind of thing.

Laughter is really a good medicine for pain.
