I am a strong believer in the power of comedy. I believe that making someone else laugh or smile is what life should be all about.

Now you may think that a laugh or a smile is just a laugh or just a smile, but I believe that there is so much more to "just a laugh" or "just a smile."

I believe that making someone else feel good by laughing or smiling not only makes themselves feel good, but it makes me feel good as well. The feeling of sharing a joke and having all of the people laughing around you is like seeing that light at the end of the tunnel for the very first time. Everything that you may be feeling prior to telling that amazing joke to the people you love just disappears.

You are left with a feeling of relief, satisfaction, pride, and of course, happiness.

Your reaction to that light at the end of the tunnel passes on the people around you as they are laughing their asses off because they believe that you are hilarious. The feeling of happiness that is felt because of the power that comedy possesses can cure just about anything.

For example, you may accidentally fall down one day and get a little boo-boo on your knee. Instead of crying about it and bringing yourself and the people around you sorrow, you can laugh about it and bring yourself and the people around you happiness as you guys laugh about how clumsy you are.

You may also forget that there is a test on Monday morning and you didn't study for it. Instead of freaking out about it, you can laugh about it and then fill in "C" for all of the multiple choice questions, and write "Jesus" for all of the open ended questions. Then you can just pray to the Comedic Gods as you keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.

Or, you are looking for a last minute birthday gift for your friend's birthday that's tomorrow. Instead of procrastinating and giving your friend something crappy, you can laugh about it by giving them something from the heart.

The power of comedy opens up all of your positive emotions and memories about the people that you love. So laughing about not buying your friend a birthday gift earlier will help you think about all of the good times that you guys have cherished together. Then you can give your friend a cute gift based off of all of those memories that you guys have shared thus far.

However, even though the power of comedy can most certainly cure some things, unfortunately, the power of comedy cannot cure everything. For example, I tend to laugh whenever I am feeling really nervous, anxious, or uncomfortable; as I've explained before, laughing and smiling gives me the most incredible feeling in the world and I strive to look for happiness in life because I ultimately want to live a long, healthy, and happy life.

So one day, my college had an event for the victims who have died in the Holocaust.

Obviously, this event was not the time to laugh or smile. But since I can't help but laugh whenever I am feeling nervous, anxious, or in this case uncomfortable, I was laughing to myself to make myself feel better when one of the survivors was talking to the students. This event was just way too emotional for anyone to handle since the Holocaust was such a traumatic event that will hopefully never, ever happen again because absolutely no one deserves to have witnessed all of the pain, torture, and suffering that these survivors have witnessed with their own eyes.

Nothing can cure absolutely everything in this messed up world, but happiness can easily make all of those negative feelings that you've been having on your bad day disappear. That is why I cherish those moments whenever myself, my friends, or one of my family members makes me laugh or smile. Because happiness is the best medicine and the best kind of people in this world are the kind who have a good sense of humor.
