What is humour?Is it merely the ability to find something funny or is it a way of life that should be taken seriously.Humour has always been a part of human life.Without humour what would our life be? Dreary & monotonous.Humor makes us more human,it makes us tolerant of each other.Even the most serious events become bearable,it makes the life worth living,it gives us hope.
Now a day the environment is more challenging and unforgiving. You always have to be on your toes, improving yourself. The pace of technological changes happening around us is very rapid. Earlier life changing innovations occurred once in a century. The greatest inventions like fire,wheel, printing, steam engine(Industrial Revolution) are separated by a hundreds even thousand years. Now a day's these changes are ocurring every 15 to 20 years.The revolution in
communication is a good example.The burgeoning population and the scramble for a limited resources doesn't help much either.
It is in such a scenario that humour can play an important role. However stressing your work life be,a few moments of humour, of laughter, of joy -- ends the stress,the frustration, the heartburn.It acts as a balm.It gives you new energy.Most important is the fact that it comes free,you just have to listen to the child inside you.One should give place to humour in everyday life.
The day one parts with humour -- thinking it to be a frivolous things -- that day the man is dead. Make no mistake about it.Though he may breathe,work and be physically very fit but he has died from inside -- for there is no place for joy, emotion, laughter, gaiety in his heart and these are positive emotions, these bring out the best in humankind. "For what has a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul" says Bible. A life without
humour is a life less divine, for even Angels would not tread there.As GK Chesterton said "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly; Devils fall because of their gravity." Even to seek God, one need not disfigure his face.
Like all things in life, a proper balance should be maintained. A heart full of humour and nothing else could not make a man great -- it would only make him a joker. Laugh at urself first, see your mistakes in a humourous light, learn from them; and then laugh at others. Be happy and spread the warmth of joy everywhere around you and watch the world become a better place in your own lifetime.
