On average, children laugh 400 times a day, while adults laugh about 15 times. Why the gap? Did we lose something? Have we forgotten the way we used to be? Why is it that children seem to cope with lifeβs oddities better than adults? Perhaps itβs because they do not fully understand. But I think itβs simpler than thatβthey laugh. As we grow older, we get far too serious. Watch children play. They donβt need expensive toys to entertain them. Everything is fun. They are spontaneous. Only when we become adults do we start to get boring. Do we need to cultivate a different attitude? Humor is in the way we see things, the way we think. Itβs an attitude, not an event. Perhaps the key lies in becoming more childlike. Β [The Power of Laughter]
