Those who have friends have unexpected and explosive bursts of laughter, the ones that catch their attention, that reden our cheeks and tear tears as they immediately burn the uncomfortable daily sadness of the heart.
Friendship usually has many side effects, but one of them, the most expressive, is undoubtedly the pleasure of laughing in company; In fact, it is curious to know that on the scale of the emotional explosion, just as crying is always better than crying in silence, laughter is also more beneficial than a simple laugh.
- I love these friends to share crazy things with.
- Afternoon coffee and laughter.
- I love them because they came by chance.
- Almost not knowing how.
- To become my real family.
In fact, there is no more pleasurable pain than that installed in the stomach caused by shared laughter, because this feeling is a reflection of social cohesion and well-being, and because friendship is also a way to recycle tears and disappointments to allow laughter to rise as the true architect of wisdom.
The most admirable mood is the one that arises from adversity and that, in turn, we are happy to share with people who make sense of us. In the case of women, friendship is undoubtedly the best support in the day-to-day to encourage explosion and excitement. Expression.
In fact, according to research published in Psychology Today, it is known that the friendship between men is more instrumental and less emotional, and although the bond can be just as strong and meaningful, it does not reach the depth so complicit, so intimate. to the point of promoting genuine moral support.
In difficult times, it is common for a sudden comment among the group of friends to appear as a spark in the dark, which also makes the thought fly to release tension, in a short time someone takes another step, a leap towards irony, towards the absurd, to provoke them to appear immediately, the true restorers of the soul, the true pills of the feathers of everyday life: the fits of laughter.
Laughter can seem innocuous, sometimes ephemeral, so chaotic, explosive or meaningless, yet it acts as a true “glue” for the brain. It always hides meaning and emotion rarely has an impact and social significance as high as laughter.
Greg Bryant, a professor at the University of California (UCLA) developed a curious survey where he was able to show that it’s enough to listen for a few seconds to the kind of laughter two people share to deduce if they’re a couple. friends and what is the quality of that friendship. This work in different countries and cultures in turn demonstrated something anthropologists already knew.
Laughter is part of our evolutionary development and is also an instinctive mechanism that promotes cooperation among humans, the brain reminds us that social alliances are good, that they are necessary to survive, and that is why laughter acts as a prodigious emotional magnet. If we can also deal with its intensity, musicality or cadence, we will deduce at what stage that relationship is.
Laughter and bursts of laughter tempered by the most intimate complicity of two eyes read and felt from the heart temper the authentic potion to forge the most lasting friendships, it is the bonds that make us take off, the sugar to digest the bitterness of the day. and the masterful formula to convince us that the world will remain valid as long as there are exceptional people.
Laughter attacks help us survive and unite, and that’s something the brain likes, so it rewards us again with endorphins to help us relieve stress and alleviate the labyrinth of our tensions and the abyss of our fears.
But, as we pointed out at the beginning, simple smiles do not heal, nor do they heal the tears contained or disguised, what cures is crying and what brightens the heart is the strongest laugh.
Just out of curiosity, and finally, we share a little text that Richard Wiseman, British psychologist and researcher of?Laughlab Project? (the laughing lab), used in its tests to analyze the sense of humor of its participants. In giving them these words, I reminded them of one fundamental thing that should never be forgotten: the best time to laugh is always now.
“Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson will camp. They set up their tent under the stars and go to bed. In the middle of the night, Holmes wakes up his friend Watson and says:
? Watson, look at the stars and tell me what you see
? Do I see thousands and thousands of stars, Watson replies.
? Excellent. And what does it infer from that? ? Holmes asks.
? If there are thousands of stars and only a few have planets, it is very likely that there is a planet like Earth there, and if there are planets like Earth, there may also be life.
? Watson, don’t you be an idiot?” replied Holmes. You mean they robbed our store?
