There’s nothing that takes the tension out of your body quite like a good laugh. Remember when you were a kid and you’d choose to be in a bad mood for whatever reason and think «I’m not gonna smile today so everyone knows how angsty I am,» and then someone would say something funny in class and you’d force down a smile. Is that a universal experience? It’s such a funny, human instinct– to stifle a laugh when you’re trying to be serious or sad. But life never ceases to be funny. Even when it’s terrible, even when it’s sad. 

That’s why we have to embrace the laughter. Let it flow whenever it comes up and wherever we find it. That’s the great thing about a meme list. It forces you out of your sourpuss-ness and makes you confront all things unserious. So sit back, relax, and let the funnies wash over you.
