- Custom Highlight Text:
What is it about laughter that makes us lift
As if the burden might be gone or the weight
Be somehow alleviated? Laughter is just noise. - Non-review Thumbnail:
We have worries as we always have. Nothing
Is more important than the maintenance of such balance
As it is within our nature to demonstrate.
It could be said that laughter is a relief
But that hardly endorses its real purpose
Which is something about the physical body.
We look around us. Animals have no laughter.
They are built for endurance only. Contentment
Perhaps but nothing as frivolous as laughter.
But are we right in thinking of laughter as frivolity?
Laughter is something more than frivolous
Go on. Laugh at that. You see what I mean.
