Humor is the oxygen for the soul. Many of us laugh when we watch others making fool of themselves. How many do when they make a fool of themselves? When it comes to us, suddenly we lose our sense of humor. It is replaced by anger. That is wrong. When we have true sense of humor, we can laugh at ourselves. How does this ability help us? Let us find out.
It is said that most of the great persons have a sense of humor. They can laugh at themselves. This is important because life brings us many surprises and if we react emotionally to all of them, we will be drained of energy soon. Try this experiment. Watch a cartoon and laugh. Now watch a sad movie and feel sad. In the third instance watch anything that will make you angry. After watching and observing your feelings of humor, sadness and anger look at your body. When did the body feel good? It was humor, is that not?
Next time in any situation if you are the butt of the joke, laugh it out. Do not show any anger or sadness. Ignore the negatives and laugh. You will be doing a great service to yourself. The greatest saint of India says that tongue has no bones so it speaks anything. Please ignore all the speech of others that troubles you and laugh it out. Quiz yourself about your sense of humor and develop it further.

So what will you be doing in your one life to live? I have no answers for you to any of this. Nor does any one else. It is all an enigma hidden within the soul that is your true self.
