We have to, to survive in this day and age! If you have stopped laughing, the end is very near indeed. Being serious about everything will make you old long before your time, from stress, a sour face, and general surliness. To laugh is to relax and get younger!!! Yes, You do!

pedro27: curiosity killed the cat
phrase of curiosity
proverb being inquisitive about other people's affairs may get you into trouble.
You mean people that stick their noses into other's business, because theirs are too boring, or are they just being nosey, or are they purposely looking for trouble?

pedro27: I agree laughing at someone is mocking and mocking is one of the worst forms of degrading , but true laughter is the best, good humour can't be bet
You must have also come in contact with people, that laugh at others. They generally have some very serious problems.
The funniest and most embarrassing is when you are listening to people talking, and finding something funny, and bursting out laughing, and they think you're laughing at them, while you're laughing at something you found funny, that was said. It was done totally unintentionally, and not a slight on anyone! It is very good for your health and very bad for their self-esteem, if they have low self-esteem, that is, else they will laugh with you, and have noticed the funny part, and grinned at it, at the time?

laughing releasing endorphins in the brain which triggers pleasant feelings, light hearted humour is best. benefits of laughter can break down one's barriers and create friendships always lasting a life time

Yes, finding something funny together, or not. Opposites do find each other very interesting too, and laugh at each other.

most of the time I see the humor in the stupidness off mankind.
When all the people of Syria were fugitives, taking the train to Germany I made up the sick joke: What's the difference between a syrian and a jew? Syrians want to go to Germany by train...
Well there are many occassions when I saw how people where dumb, but at this moment I feel dumb, cuz I can't recall a moment right now.

Maybe later this week.
You know: People discriminate so easily, but let someone just say something to them, and they're up in arms. The thing is, which most people forget, that we are all different, and all have different points of view, and different humour indicators, and Nobody is wrong, as You are right for You and your family!
