what does humour add to life
Answers
It's easy to laugh when you are well, but studies suggest that laughter also can improve health and possibly stave off disease, thereby extending life. It also eases stress, and helps the ill cope with their sickness and pain.
Answer:
Humour is an instrument, which in the direst circumstances, can make you smile and laugh. For that infinitesimal space, it lights up your mind. Humour makes you a little bit more playful. In that space, it gives you an opportunity to transform negative emotions into a positive emotion.
People who show a better sense of humour are more optimistic, confident about their abilities and reported a higher well-being or happiness.
An interesting research by Petersen, Seligman, and Park showed that recovery from a psychological disorder or serious illness was associated with an increase in elevated levels of humour. Humour not only changes your mood, it allows you to view your adversity in a lighter side, and sustain your positive mood. When practised appropriately, humour is known to decrease your negative moods, depression, anxiety and stress.
