When I've started to write about humour I was seized with fear... what could I write about? What could be so interesting that will cheer people up? I thought it would be best if I just walked and hoped a brilliant idea might occur to me. And it did: I saw so many persons laughing and enjoying themselves, making me wonder what the source of their laughter was. In fact what is humour? Why do people laugh and why do the cry?

I think we laugh when we hear a good joke or whenever we see a funny thing happening to somebody else. But what think to be funny and hilarious may be a reason for anger for somebody else. For example: when we see a person slipping on a banana peel we can't help ourselves from laughing, even if we don't want to offend that person. She surely doe sn't find it funny and she feels embarrassed, but she tries to hide that by an ironic smile.

I do not claim we laugh just when something bad happens to others. On the one hand, we laugh when we watch a comedy, when we read a satire, a joke, whenever we meet a friend or a member of our family. On the other hand, we come to laugh because we don't want to cry. We are so stressed, so upset, so angry on a person but we don't want to give her the satisfaction of seeing us crying, so we laugh. Strange but true, isn't it?

We always try to hide our emotions and out feelings and that's why we always go out with a mask, believing that nobody will realize our true state of mind. We are so wrong. He who knows us best will immediately come to understand our mood. We can't deceive them.

In conclusion we laugh to express our joy or our happiness but also to hide our anger. The first possibility is the most desirable, isn't it?

We must laugh everyday because a minute of laughter prolongs our life with five minutes. It is a way of feeling better and of living more. So laugh every minute.
