I generally wonder why do we laugh? And this very thought gives a smile on my lips. But friends if you have an answer kindly let me know.

Great question............... why do we lough? A specific brain mechanisms responsible for laughter. It is a basic instinct. Laughter comes long before we’re able to speak. We’re born with the capacity to laugh. Laughter is caused by many sensations and thoughts, and that it activates many parts of the body.

Laughing can be both a good one or a bad one. We laugh because we are able to hear or see something that is funny. Laugh caused by a normal incident like actions, jokes and so on, are good. Sometimes, laughing because of somebody's silly actions or laughing pitifully can be bad and is hurtful. Anyway, I love laughing because it gives me hope.
