Humor Happens in Many Ways

Just to start things off, does it ever make you wonder why laughter is contagious? There are several reasons that many people can conclude by their assessments. Well, I can think of a few possibilities: the sound/inflection — sometimes the sound of laughter really can cause a reaction across a crowd of silence; the joke delivery — now for a joke delivery it really depends on the timing and the intention of it; and, most importantly, the speaker who conveys the humor. In fact, these reasons may be on point…OK, maybe not because let us face it, humor is something difficult to portray whenever we live in times of uncertainty, where we expect so much from someone delivering humor or subtle shade if you interpret it differently. 

  Whenever I hear the sound of laughter I feel a sense of liveliness and uplift, it is as if a slight euphoria occurs to me. From an obvious standpoint, everybody has their unique sound of laughter: some sound like chuckles, some sound hearty from the gut, some sound really throaty, some sound distinctive, and so on. Basically, laughter really embodies something that may be missing from our lives, a sense of happiness that we yearn to grasp and not to relinquish it whenever we need its attachment.  

Next off, humor survives the testament when it is delivered by calculated timing. Sometimes the timing will succeed or fail, especially if one actually plans it well. To point out, the saying, “Timing is everything,” applies here. Comedians, comics, comediennes, and those alike comprehend this concept exceptionally well, even if they may be professionals at it. 

A joke teller is someone who practices endlessly to achieve one goal — make people laugh. Presumably, I notice whenever some professionals will agree upon one consensus about humor: they love the sense of making people laugh. To them, laughter is the objective, the goal that gives them ease and a sense of gratification, and all because they practice relentlessly to perfect their skills. 

     Now, admittedly, I tell an odd sense of humor, more so self-depreciating, because oddly whenever I tell jokes about myself, they console me and help me connect to others by one commonality — laughter. Meanwhile, I implore people to consider one thing: try not to discredit someone from conveying a story to alleviate himself/herself of any anxiety or pent-up emotions. 

This is a personal reflection of what I think humor is from the first and third person point of view.
