Laughter is the refusal to feel violated and funny people are almost impossible to insult because humour is immunity to taking offence.Which is why if anything people become funnier at the worst of times whether it's following a serious diagnosis or falling over in the street. Many times people who have nearly died or gone through some tough experiences are funnier by the end of it. All humour springs from the gallows which is probably why men are funnier than women, men are closer to danger.

The Greeks said comedy was tragedy plus laughter and this is the same thing. Humour doesn't work unless there's something that could make you cry in or around it, it literally is that point where you've gotta laugh. Humour is joy in spite of misery.Which is why if anything people become funnier at the worst of times whether it's following a serious diagnosis or falling over in the street.

The health benefits of laughter are far reaching, much more then you may first imagine. I went along to a laughter yoga weekend a couple of years ago, my stomach muscles were aching for days afterwards.
On the second day we had a long study into the medical benefits of laughter. I was truly amazed how our body responds in so many positive ways to the simple act of laughter.
Also, I was surprised to find out recently that the body does not discriminate between forced or false laughter, but will gain the same benefits whether the laughter be false or authentic.
