If there is no reason to be funny in this life well then there is no
reason to live. Humor is absolutely essential for life, love, and
liberty. How does humor give you life?
Well studies have shown that to laugh is to live, literally. The more
people laugh, no matter how it is produced, the healthier they are.
Health was measured in these studies on both the psychosocial mental
health sort of way AND the physiological basis on a biochemical level.
People were shown to have more hope, to be more resilient in tough
circumstances, and to have lower levels of stress the more they were
able to laugh and see the humor in life. Now you might be saying to
yourself well MAYBE they had more to laugh about with more hope in a
better future. I mean what comes first they chicken or the egg? Good
point! Except that they found that even the same person who was
measured before and after artificially produced laughter and smiles--
and they found the same result! So, if you want to be healthy then
you'd better be funny too. Yeah, but how is humor essential for love?
You've heard the expression couples that play together stay together.
Well once again people looked into this issue and tried to determine
what about play made a relationship stronger. You'll never guess what
they found! That's right it was actually couples that laugh together
stay together. They found that the association between strength of
relationship and play was really a function of how much laughter there
was in the play. After all, usually you are having fun during play and
therefore often are laughing. It makes sense doesn't it? If you are
healthier like we established in paragraph I (especially the mental
part) than you are better suited to deal with all of the work that it
takes to make a relationship strong. So really this follows a logical
line. Ok, Ok, so how does liberty have anything to do with laughter.
Are you saying that to be funny is to be free?
Yes! That is exactly what I am saying. This is more philosophical than
scientific but intriguing none the less. Follow me here, if you cannot
laugh at yourself than you are telling your self there is not freedom
to make error. Don't get me wrong errors are not good, especially if
you are a surgeon or a fighter pilot. But there is something to be
said for staying loose. If you have to be perfect in everything than
you can never relax, and this is a bad thing when trying to avoid
making the big mistakes. Think about it if you don't have the freedom
to be funny, than you don't have the ability to relax, and you are
going to make more mistakes under that pressure.
