Actually, I think it's the sense of humor that separates those who "survive" from those who succumb.
I have found that if you can't laugh at life, it will take the life out of you. Whereas BY laughing at life, we garner some sublime victory of sorts, even if short-lived.
Too, I have also discovered that if people cannot laugh at themselves, then they are not funny. Some of my heartiest guffaws have been at my own foibles!
ANDDDD........ if you belive what "they" say, laughing has therapeutic properties that makes one live longer, healthier lives.
So, here's to a jolly belly-rolling, tear-making knee slapping sense of humor.
