Why I laugh alot

[KIMBER45]

I was criticized by someone on this board for laughing alot. He even implied I needed meds to stop me, insinuating I was mentally ill. Below is a poem by Emerson that I live my life by. I have given copies to my children so they stay the course. Hope it helps someone as much as it has helped me.

SUCCESS
by Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

[Conan The Librarian]

I laugh a lot too, but only at inappropriate times. Just kidding about the inappropriate times part.


Anyway, laughing is as important as thinking. Out loud is fine, but a laughing attitude can be had silently too, and people don't call the cops on you as often.


Here's an appendix to the words of wisdom above: smiling is contagious.
