Aristotle said, “No animal but man ever laughs.” Sometimes, animals too look like laughing but actually they do not laugh. Although they have family love like maternal love and paternal love, they cannot give a warm smile to their family.
Come to think of it, that’s a great blessing for us to be able to show our laugh and smile to others as well as to our loving family. Without laughter, our home, school, and society will be very dreary.
Laughter is contagious. When a dad laughs, his children laugh; when children laugh, their mom laughs. It doesn’t matter who laughs first; if one laughs, everyone will laugh in the end. Do not wait for someone else to laugh first. Show your smile first!
