Sometimes, we merely have to laugh it off!
When you may not get the results you want, perhaps a good laugh can shift your perspective. A joke is all about perspective – looking at things from another point of view.
I mean, what else can you do? Sulk? Be resentful? Be serious? Get constipated? It is better to feel good than bad. It is good to feel better, and a joke or riddle can put us in that place of heightened alertness, euphoria and appreciation. Thus, comedy can be therapeutic and treat depression. Raise people’s spirit, morale and interest – and we can influence them to do remarkable things for themselves, and others. As comedian Russell Peters would say, ‘Hey! Be a man! Do the right thing!’
If Happy Hour is about feeling happy once, or twice every hour – then we should have more of it. Would it be possible to laugh once every hour? Save up a collection of jokes, and read one when your energy wanes or spirit flags. Hear a colleague (with a great sense of humour) tell a joke. These are the ones who can tell a joke umpteen times, and it is still funny!
