Laughter they say, is the best medicine 💊💉
This means that it is able to provide healing and health to anyone who engages in it.
As I walked down to my place of work this morning, I passed through a building that is a lecture theatre for University Students.
As with every student environment, everywhere was bubbling with some students standing outside the hall, gisting and chatting.
A particular set of 3 students caught my interest.
You would know why they did in a moment.
There was another woman who I saw, she was about a stone throw to the lecture hall. She sells snacks and soft drinks. This is every student's friend.
To digress a bit,
Being a doctor, I encounter a lot of students at the health centre who have been diagnosed with Peptic Ulcer disease, but the irony is that these same students do not take breakfast seriously.
They would rather go for lectures without eating and then buy junks during break time.
Student life right? Lol.
Anyways back to my story.
These group of 3 students caught my attention.
And it was because they were talking about something that was obviously fascinating to them.
I wasn't close enough to hear what their discussion was about, but the woman selling snacks could hear them and she seemed very much interested in the gist.
They talked so freely and before I knew it, everyone of them burst into laughter, including the woman selling snacks.
And immediately these words flashed through my mind (Imagine a world without Laughter)
I paused to think about it for some split seconds and I quickly decided to pen it down on my phone and said in my leisure at work I would probably think through it and write about it.
I honestly cannot imagine a world where there was no Laughter.
What?, I can't imagine!

Laughter brings people together, and fosters connection with people.
I choose to think of laughter as our body cells trying to express themselves whenever someone or something amuses them. Lol.
Have you seen people who don't laugh?
I wonder how their life would be like.
Laughter is contagious.

Ever being in the room with someone and the person starts laughing and you begin to smile even before you know the reason for the laughter?
I would like to ask you a very important question now.
As much as the country and economy is hard, do you find reasons to laugh everyday or your life is so serious that it cannot accommodate one moment of laughter.
Have you had a good laugh today?
I find myself more inclined to watching comedy movies or skits mainly because they help me cool off and relax no matter how busy my day has been.
Make it a point of compulsion to have a good laugh each day.
Your facial muscles will thank you.
Your heart will thank you, your body will also thank you.
No matter the negative circumstances, choose to be happy, choose laughter, choose Joy.
Till I come your way again dear Hive Naijans
