Laughter

Laughter comes in many forms,

chuckles...

guffaws...

snickers...

giggles...

even fits of tears...

so many different ways to laugh, but yet all serve the same purpose;

to cause happiness,

to bring forth all your best feelings,

to build bonds between people, communities, even countries;

Laughter is selfless,

it doesn't expect anything from its beholder,

other than pure, unadulterated joy;

Laughter finds ways to melt the coldest of hearts,

to make the meanest man smile as if he were a child in a sweet shop,

to make pessismists not just see the glass half full, but to see the glass filled to the brim,

there is no one that is exempt from the clutches of laughter,

once it pulls you in, it doesn't let go;

A life without laughter is a life without real meaning,

A life without laughter is a life where people have no crutch to lean on in the saddest 

of times,

A life without laughter is just a life not worth living at all.
