Humour I feel, is one of those essential attributes, that a human being must be able to grasp in order to have a fulfilling life.
Humour invokes the ability to laugh, and this in turn releases special hormones that are good for you. Indeed many people pre-plan to laugh three or four times today just because it makes them feel better.
Humour is strongest I feel when we are young. The slapstick and plain silliness of scenes that we saw on TV when we were children, usually would have us on all four. Sweet innocent laughing it was indeed.
However as we progress into the realms of adulthood, our perception of what we find funny alters dramatically. Now, seedy jokes peppered with explicit phrases are the norm for us to laugh, or should I say grunt to, as we try to keep our bladders in-check,lest uncontrollable urination occurs.
The willingness of us to laugh at other people's misfortune is quite a worrying trait, almost characteristic of the society and world that we live in today.
Whilst humour is readily available on the internet and on the television in the form of stand-up we should remember that there are many books that deliver it just as well as their more modern counterparts.
Such an example would be the works of Sir Terry Pratchett, whose books regarding the Discworld universe focus on plot before allowing for the humour to reveal itself.
Humour sometimes makes me feel like it's a food. You can get it in, just to name a few in dry, light and dark. What's yours?
