I'm really glad I came across this today, but as my mind is open to everything, I would like to share my thoughts. I personally think laughter can be a good way to alleviate some pains and discomforts, but to an extent. We can only take and endure so much, It is very crucial that you have something to fall on or go back to. Something that you know will never fail you, but instead remind you to move forward or shed light into the situation. In my opinion, laughter in hard times, can pick you back up but will not have the full potential to take you out of that hard place you've been stuck in. Still, will go a very long way, as the smallest things in this world cause the biggest changes without us even knowing. Laughter can be great to get you through the day, but you need a foundation to fall back on. To fill you up again, and to give you the purpose that was already there, but forgotten by the obstacles we face every day.
