Laughter - the cure for sorrow

Mohd Najwan Md Khambari

A hearty laugh can warm up a cold room and make our spirit soar. But many of us are afraid to laugh, especially when we make mistakes. We think that we are expected to be perfect, and we don't allow ourselves to make mistakes.

However, we are not mold punched out by a machine. We are human beings, with all our wonderful flaws. It is those flaws that make our lives interesting and surprising.

Who knows when we might accidently bump into a chair or catch our sweater on a doorknob? We need not feel self-conscious, it happens to many of us.

The ability to laugh at ourselves is a gift from God. All we need to do is grab and use it. Then we will see how healthy and powerful laughter can be...
