@LadyDuck Well, we'd better look for good reasons to laugh.. Our Creator has good sense of humor..just thinking of kittens and other funny animals he has created..

@buenavida Did you study Latin? They had a phrase "Risus abundant in ore stultorum" (laughter is abundant in the mouth of fools). I agree, if you laugh with no reason it is pretty silly.

We humans are created really social and we can laugh with others - many animals are happy too..

Yes, the Bible talks a lot about joy and happiness, as God wants us to be happy and enjoy his creation. You can find an online Bible at jw.org - and you can find many great videos and you can choose the language you prefer..
Bible-based movies and videos for families, teenagers, and children. Documentaries about Jehovah’s Witnesses. Watch or download.
