"Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else." - Will Rogers.
The reality of things is that not everyone laughs at life the same way. This reveals the fact that some people have a higher acceptance of some things in life. Not all fingers in a hand are the same as individuals view things differently. Different folks have got different strokes. What one person thinks of a funny or why that event is funny is called a 'sense.'
Senses are the physiological methods of perception. This would mean that a sense of humour is purely your own personal perspective. Your very own past experience would be a proof of this perspective. If you focus your attention for a moment thinking of all your past experiences in a negative way, you might be stressed out and soon become uncomfortable.
An important lesson is to not be affected by any stressful situation. Treat the situation or event as external and not internal. Try not to be a participant and get affected by the stressful circumstance. Instead of falling into the trap of wallowing in self-pity or getting into the vicious habit of complaining about life's frustrations, try to take each situation separately and laugh about them. If something is so frustrating or depressing, do not let it affect you. Remember to look back on it and just laugh, picturing in your mind that it's a ridiculous thing. Why do we have to be a victim of those circumstances? Think of how it will sound as a very funny story you could tell to your friends, and then see if you can laugh about it in various forms of laughter. With this shift in attitude, you may also find yourself in a totally different state. You would feel more light-hearted and relaxed. It is important that you are in control of your own circumstances so giving yourself a good laugh and those around you more to laugh about. Approach life in a jolly way and you will find that you are less stressed out by the negative events that occur around you. What would be simply amazing is that you will achieve the health benefits of laughter.
