Humor Makes Us Happy, And Happiness Is Contagious

Humor and laughter make us relax in hectic situations. But in many situations, from a general point of view, there is no suitable laugh. And culturally, we have been taught certain behaviors about laughing. The decision to go through life with a sense of humor with us is something that is not generally seen as important.

The tragic things we see every day on television give us a picture of a world where negativity is at the center of everything.  On top of all that, the people around us who constantly complain make us wonder if the world is really a good place to live.

This is exactly what is being fed to us. And we have been raised according to this extremely negative outlook on life  that We are constantly complaining about spilled milk.

The concern is seen as a sign of respect

Humorously, going through life is incompatible with our culture, where concern is seen as a sign of respect. It is true, of course, that joking about tragedies or death is thoughtless, but every now and then we have to see the positive sides of the bad things that happen to us. Bad things happen to us anyway, and we can look at them the way we want to. So we’ll give you an example of a great story.

Heikki was 32 when he lost his job. He was the accountant of the management company at the time of the recession, and the company had to lay off its employees.

Everyone was sorry for Heikki. They tried to comfort him, but everyone else seemed sad and discouraged. All that could be seen on their faces.

But none of this concerned Heikki. It’s true that he lost his job, but it was a great opportunity for him to start his own business,  or some other projects, who knows!

In fact, Heikki always had a smile on his face. And this, in turn, apparently bothered his family, for they said,  “How can you be so happy and carefree after they kick you in the yard that way! Don’t you care at all? ”

We live in a world where complaining and feeling sorry is the norm. And anyone who dares to break this mold is made sure they know they did – or else we will condemn them in silence.

For example, aren’t we all wondering how a person can do so well just a few weeks after the death of their spouse, or when someone has just ended their relationship?

Living seriously means that sometimes we dramatize too many situations for which there are actually simple solutions.

Of course, all the circumstances are different. But if we know how to smile and look to the future with optimism, all things will go better and the opportunities we have dreamed of will happen with greater probability.

You decide how to live your life: tragically or comically

Living with a sense of humor doesn’t mean we have to laugh at everything that happens to other people. Nor does it mean that we should be frivolous about all the complex situations we experience.

Living humorously means we don’t see ourselves as a victim. It means getting rid of negative thoughts. That means we are not sorry about ourselves. Instead, it means we have to act.

How many times have we fallen into a trap where we call things that happen to us “bad luck”? We just sit in our seats and do nothing about it.

We still have a lot of things to figure out before we can  accept everything that happens to us. Until we can accept what we cannot control. And at the same time, we must not neglect what we can control.

Learning to laugh at the tragic situations or painful things we’ve been through is a sign that we’re really tenacious.

It doesn’t mean that our pain is contemptuous, but that we have practical ways to go through it, namely humor. Gathering strength to lift our heads and smile at life, no matter how hard it hit us in the face.

Going forward is not possible unless we begin to dig ourselves out of the pit where we are. What good is it to feed a negatively charged feeling until it becomes who we ourselves are?

It will not help us move forward. It doesn’t help us figure out how strong we are. And it doesn’t help us realize all the great abilities we can use against the situations we face.

Adding just a little more humor to your worldview should be a part of your lifestyle. It’s easy to forget that happiness makes every day more beautiful.

It sends the fear away. It makes our wounds hurt less. And on top of all that, humor makes us happy.

Laughter and endorphins go hand in hand. But why would we neglect nature’s own, great painkiller? Wouldn’t it be time to balance the tragedy with humor?
