With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also esntial to have a
good n of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives.Putting a smile on someone's face
when you know they are feeling down in the dumps(处于沮丧中），as the saying goes,makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, clo friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't kno
w the person I'm joking around with. My grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy（礼貌）to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone round them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get煮酒听雨
a really funny joke?
Laughing is esntial to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourlves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is主板芯片
too much sadness in this prent world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.

I was lfish as a teenager. I usually spent my time thinking about mylf and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the hou until he left for college. I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost mylf in my own imagination. This didn’t change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith, it was only to increa my own happiness.
I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of cour, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my lfish soul. Soon I found mylf unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy fo
r spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the lfishness slowly out of me.
Still, I didn’t give up on happiness, I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itlf clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: It is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.
