Laughter is a great thing. Since time immemorial, it has always been said that ‘laughter is the best medicine.’ Laughter makes one feel good for a reason.

Laughing is generally considered to be an essential behavior of a happy, joyful individual. It invokes happiness and joy. Instead of being hopeless because a solution for a problem/s on hand is undiscerning, laughing enables us to foresee some new insights. Besides, it is much easier to think positively around a problem when we are happy.

 Laughter connects people. Shared laughter promotes bonding and unity within a group. When we laugh with others, we feel more connected to them. It is part of our bonding.

Laughter also opens the door to more real communication. If a humorous comment is made that expresses the concerns in an exagerated way, those with the group will laugh. This then enables them to talk more effectively about the issues and concerns.
