IMPORTANCE OF HUMOUR Life is a struggle with ups and downs, victory and defeat, dream and repentance. So, we all must have that patience to face all challenges calmly and bravely without any hesitation. For this, we have to cultivate a sense of humour. We need a spirit of cheerfulness so that when we read of life’s solemn issues and grave crises, the impact may more tolerance. A flash of humour, a ripple of laughter can do a great deal in reducing our tensions in all sorts of situations. Humour is like a gleam of sunshine, bursting suddenly through the clouds. Laughter is the best medicine that can cure any problem. It is rightly said, “A smiling face is the God’s gift”. It is a great asset, not a minor liability; it provides us everything, extracts nothing. Laughter and good humour are infectious. They draw people together and establish a bond with them. Laughter also has a connection with our mind and body. The grave and morose person is usually not healthy. He suffers from depression and frustration. It does not mean that we always must respond to laughter with shrieks, but we must never stifle laughter. We all must remember, there is enough pure, spontaneous, contagious laughter in the world. We need to cultivate it and encourage it.
