Go ahead and giggle or sneak a snicker if you want. Don’t cork a chortle or choke a chuckle that you should flaunt. Why not? Your bellowed amusement is more than a delight for you, it can be a blessing to those who hear it.
For ages, human beings have known that laughter has healing properties. Lord Byron, Aristotle, and the Bible all agree that laughter is medicine. It’s a stress reliever par excellence with no preplanning or scheduling required. It’s a boredom buster and readily offers an escape from the mundane. Definitely contagious, its effects are positive in many ways. Laughter begets laughter. Have you ever seen a group of people laughing and felt like laughing, too? I say go for it.
