Laughter is a gift. We can laugh ourselves happier and we can laugh ourselves healthier. And it is free. It only needs us to make the choice. We can use our laughter to help us deal with stress: and although we cant laugh away our problems, laughter gives us greater clarity, creativity and calmness to enable us to face up to them more effectively.
And laughter is the diplomacy pass key. With genuine laughter we can communicate more openly. Laughter can bring love and peace.
