Jokes can't always make you laugh
As awareness of the benefits of humor and laughter increases, most of us want
to get all the laughs we can.It seems that almost every day there is another
news bulletin about the power of humorand laughter to heal us physically,
mentally, emotionally,and spiritually.Every system of the body responds to
laughter in some important,postive,or healing way.
Sense of humor
Many people mistakenly believe that you are born with a sense of humor.They
think that when it comes to a sense of humor,"either you 've got it or you
don't."This is false! What is true,however,is that the capacity to laugh and
smile is virtually inborn.
The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and
smiling are mature at birth in human infants,but that is not the same thing as
having a sense of humor.(After all,when an infant laughs in its crib we don't
rush over and say,"That kid has a great sense of humor!")Your sense of humor is
something you can develop over a lifetime.Lose your inhibitions and try to
laugh at yourself---then you will make others laugh too.
Jokes are not everything
Humor includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling.Many people worry
needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humor because they are not
good joke tellers.More than jokes,a sense of humor is "the ability to see the
nonserious element in a situation."The ability to tell jokes is only one small
part of humor.
There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humor, and joke
telling is only one of those ways,Some people take the time to memorize jokes
and they may even have good timing and delivery.
However,if they cannot see the humor when there is a foul-up or setback in
everyday life,then they don't really have a very good sense of humor.~~~
