Be Funny, Because That’s How Your Momma Raised You!}

Submitted by: Boyd Troublerr

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.
