The BEST medicine in the world...

Laughter..

How do you define laughter...I don't think you can. But I will give it a go..

It is something that we humans do with such variation and with so many inflection's in the way that we produce this wonderful sound. It has been with us since the dawn of time. Early man must have laughed as much as we do and for all the same reasons.
To sit back and listen to a small child laugh and then to hear that sound start of an avalanche of laughter among other children and from that to hear yourself joining in is great. You know the old saying..'from the mouths of children'..
Laughter is not bound to any one race of people. It is not affected by age or language, race or colour. It covers all continents and is contagious in the extreme. There is no cure for laughter and I for one would be upset if there were.
It is with us from the time we learn to talk and remains our constant companion. And is with us when we most need a release valve and to those other time when the only course is to laugh.
Laughter can bring two people together and through the years strengthen the relationship that they have. It can bind many cultures into one and is the only verbal form of sound (that I know off ) that is universal in its understanding.

I have Motor Neurone Disease and I can laugh........CAN YOU !
