Is Laughter the Best Medicine?
Comedy clubs prosper all over the country but their profits soar during tough economic times. Norman Cousins wrote a book about how he overcame Cancer by watching movies that made him laugh. Gallows humor is legendary for dealing with awful situations and most of us can recall how we dealt with the horrific effects of 9/11 by daring to laugh again.
It could be such that we humans take ourselves and our lives too seriously. It may be that we are so fixed on the issues of the day and those issues are so painful and exhausting and routine that we are unable to see beyond our pain so as to reframe things to reveal any humor.
