Mood: happy
Laughter is the best medicine.
One, who laughs longer, lasts longer.
Ajahn Brahm is a Buddhist monk. Originally British. Now settled in Australia.
He made an interesting reference to laughter in his book.
God always has a ‘pill of wisdom’ ready to give it to us. We are not ready moss of the time.
Sometimes we are so stubborn that we give God no opportunity at all to give us his pill of wisdom. When we act like that, God has no other way left than to use that another way of delivering the medicine.
God has to do something similar to holding the nose to get us take our pill. When somebody closes and holds our nose, it does not feel good. In fact, it is very uncomfortable.
That’s what the suffering is. When do not learn the easy way, it has to be come hard. Smart people learn at the very first instance of pain. They suffer little. Some obstinate people take longer.
Laughing all the time about everything means we accept the world and life as it is and do not fret about not getting our way all the time. When we start accepting the life as it is, a lot of opportunities open up to grow up and grow wiser.
