Laughter Is Sacred: Choosing Joy Over Anger

Spread the love

Laughter is more than amusement—it’s a sacred act of healing, freedom, and connection.

Laughter is a holy thing. It is as sacred as music and silence and solemnity, maybe more sacred. Laughter is like a prayer, like a bridge over which creatures tiptoe to meet each other. Laughter is like mercy; it heals. When you can laugh at yourself, you are free. ~Ted Loder

I like to laugh. I like to watch shows that make me laugh. I like to be around people who make me laugh and are fun to be with. When we lighten up and stop taking ourselves and everything too seriously life suddenly becomes better. It’s difficult for me to imagine how some can go through life always being upset. Lots of people make money from being upset. They rant on social media sites. They make videos sharing their anger with us. The good news is we have a choice. We can choose what we watch. We can choose who we associate with, for the most part. And we can choose what we read. Make a goal to bring some laughter into your life. Make a goal to take an inventory of the people you hang out with. Do you feel good after hanging out with them or do they leave you feeling blue? Do they make you happy or make you angry? Make happy, love and laughter filled choices.
