Good-humored laughter helps to reduce tensions. A genuine smile can never fail to thaw even the coldest of hearts. The fiercest opponent cannot fail to appreciate the power of a smile. A smile and a well-intentioned laugh at the right moment can achieve what even the best of arguments or force cannot do. The physical act of laughing is simple enough but it is an expression of the state of one's mental well-being. It is not an act which is performed to certain cues. It cannot be premeditated. It is a spontaneous expression on the happiness and joy that one is feeling at that particular moment of time.
All of us are familiar with the schoolboy poem 'Enchanted Shirt' in which a care-worn king sends out his courtiers in all directions to find out the happiest man in his kingdom and they finally arrive on an ignorant villager who has nothing but a torn shirt to cover his back, but is laughing and singing in the green fields in gay abandon. The king is full of envy because he cannot share the villager's joy and innocent laughter.
Laughter should, however, be the laughter of goodwill and good humor. It should be the result of genuine pleasure and enjoyment. It should arouse in those around us a feeling of goodwill and cheer. Laughter should not be cynical of sarcastic. It should not be meant to make fun of others or to belittle others.
Laughter, therefore, is probably the best medicine. Not only is it the remedy for unrest and depression born of drudgery and tensions in today's world but it also prevents confrontations. A smile goes a long way to reassure and inspire confidence. Laughter is the medicine prescribed by god. It is up to us to see that we have regular doses of it.
