Laughter is such a powerful expression of our emotions yet we often overlook its power. Because of life’s circumstances we are facing today so many people remain trapped in a serious even fearful mode where very little joy exists. Stress is so detrimental to our overall health, yet we are consumed by it and we wonder why our health is failing. It is so important for us to learn how to lighten up and enjoy life more. One way to maintain our health is to incorporate more laughter and joy into our lives. There used to be a time when TV and the movies used to provide humor that we could all enjoy. Those days seem gone as we are constantly bombarded with violence, anger, hopelessness and despair to take in as entertainment. I don’t think so! Why should watching people dying or being killed be accepted as entertainment? Why are so many not refusing to accept it? We have become such a warped society and it shows in our everyday behavior. A nation of medicated zombies who lust after violence and instant gratification from reality TV shows.
