Laughter, and the broader category of humor, are key elements in helping us go on with our life after a loss.
From Allen Klein
When you think about advertisements, it makes sense that they want to hold and retain our attention.
It is still not clear from this study how laughter can directly help the heart but other studies have shown that laughter is beneficial for every system in the body.
Laughing is also good for your respiratory system.
Advertisers also know that humor can help bond us to their product.
When we are dealing with death we are constantly being dragged down by the event: Humor diverts our attention and lifts our sagging spirits.
Whether planned or not, humor takes our mind off of our troubles.
While most of us know that we feel better after a good hearty laugh, science, in many cases, is yet to prove why.
The studies indicate that focusing our attention on someone else, takes our mind off of our own problems. We stay healthier and thereby live longer.
Zen teaches that once we can open up to the inevitability of our demise, we can begin to transform that situation and lighten up about it.
