"TO LAUGH"
PaiHflc
The other day someone
said to me, “You are always
smiling or laughmg.” My
reply was, “Thanks. A smile
or a laugh always makes me
feel go6d inside and out.”
I sometimes wish I could
share my good feelings with
everyone. However, I must
remember that not everyone
feels as I do. Sometimes I
vwsh I could sprinkle a little
happy dust in the air and just
for one day we could all
laugh. Maybe we could
laugh until we all ached and
tears stream from our eyes.
To have the whole world
chuckling at the same time
would be a dream come true.
It is ama2dng what a giggle
can do. It can chase away a
bad thought or a lonely
feeling. It can fill an empty
heart and comfort a stressed
student.
A laugh doesn’t cost a
dime, but it is worth millions.
The following is an
excerpt from a book entitled
Whatsoever Things. It shows
how so-called great minds
underestimated laughter.

"Magic Medicine”
Laughter makes a tremendous contribution to man’s
happiness. Think about what the world would be like without
it! The wonder of it is - not that we pay our comedians better
than we do our philosophers -but that lau^ter ever could
have been frowned upon by philosophers.
Lord Chesterfield considered laughter beneath a gentleman’s
digpity. “/ am sure, ” he wrote, “that, since I have had die full
use of my reason, nobody has ever heard me laugh. ”
Even the poet, Shelley, who could be enchanted by a sky lark,
sadly insisted, “I am convinced that there can be no entire
regeneration of mankind until laughter is put down. ”
Joseph Addison declared that “Laughter... unbraces the mind,
weakens the faculties, and causes a kind of remissness and
dissolution in all the powers of the soul.
