The Best Thing I've Learned in Life

I've had a lot of mishaps, sadness, and bad times in my life. I've lost boyfriends in car accidents, I've had kid issues, and I've married some real a$$ holes. Not always made the best decisions. I've learned about what I feel is the real God. I have had issue with mental health and have a diagnosis of major depression with panic attacks. But, the one thing that really kept me from going over the edge was, and is, HUMOR. If you can't look life right in the face and find something about it to make you laugh then you might as well stop the train and get off. As Reader's Digest says "laughter is the best medicine. "

Filipinos, they say, are resilient. We have been through tough times. Corrupt government officials, stricken regularly by calamities, etc. But you would see us tuning our worse situation into a joke and would laugh about ti.
One time, a South Korean man asked me why do filipinos laugh when they're so poor. He saw a man with tattered shirt, laughing and joking with friends.
That's in our nature. We don't let problems trouble us to the point of depression.

That is good. I think Americans are rather spoiled, so we get depressed easier.

I agree with you. I cherish the films that can make me laugh and save them for a rainy day.

@celticeagle I just found a hilarious movie I commented here. It is called "Heat" and Sandra Bullock is in it.

What makes me going is not humor, but the real God up there, without His presence in my life I will never overcome, to God be the glory, to Christ be the glory!

When you say, “Laughter is the best medicine”, spare a thought for those with cold sores or angular cheilitis, where even a hint of a smile brings nothing but pain.
