L is for: Laughter, the Best Medicine?


L is for: Laughter, the Best Medicine?

They say laughter is the best medicine. But then crying can be very therapeutic as well. And what about if you’re too much into laughter and crying? Some people laugh a lot to hide that they’re depressed, while others may cry a lot to gain sympathy.

One thing for sure, there is no one medicine that fits all. Some people need laughter in their lives to feel sane, some need tears to release building stress.

Both laughter and lamenting can me healing to the mind and soul. But too much of any one thing is counterproductive and can even be a sign of something serious. Sometimes just having a kind ear can be THE best medicine anyone needs.

  1. I agree, a good cry and a good laugh have both been very therapeutic for me, although I prefer the latter.

  2. Yes to the kind ear! Yes. I also feel so much better after a good cry. :)

  3. I like both, a good laugh and a good cry. Both have been very therapeutic for me in the past. I would rather the crying came from a good book or movie than sadness, though.

  4. I agree laughter is the best! The kind where your tummy hurts. :-) I'm popping in from the a-z challenge, and I'm going to like your facebook page so I can stay connected b/c I love finding other believers in the blogosphere!
