Laughter truly is the best medicine. Whenever we laugh, we feel so great. We feel happy, light, free, joyful, ecstatic, elated etc. We forget about all our troubles and we laugh.
While it's important to laugh, our focus should be on laughing with each other instead of laughing at each other. Some comedy is cruel - jokes (insults and put downs), pranks and exchanges are made at the expense of others. This isn't funny, it's abuse.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves, even in comedy. Laughter is a good thing. We should laugh more, it's good for us.
