Sense of humor

A good sense of humor is one of the most important human qualities. There are many qualities are important for human. I believe that one of these qualities is a sense of humor. This quality is very beneficial because it helps us to look the reality of life from optimistic way, keep ourselves younger. And we can influence other people in a good way if we have this quality. I will explain my reasons with the following paragraphs. First of all, I would like to emphasize that a good sense of humor can make a person to accept the harsh realities of life. As you know we confront with a lot of daily problems. Some of them we cannot solve easily and on time. A person who has a sense of humor does not become nervous because of these problems. They look the problems from different angle and they wish that they will find the solution immediately. So endurance is very important for people and I advocate that people who have a sense of humor endure problems easily and do not suffer because of their nervous. Furthermore, I would like to underline that a good sense of humor avoids the appearance of people becoming older. I mean that people who have a sense of humor are looking like younger than their peer. And also it is proved that the spirits of these people stay younger. They wish and act like youngsters. So it is very important for living happily in this world. Indeed, most of happy people have a great sense of humor. To sum up, I would like to repeat the important role of a good sense of humor in our life. For living happily and enduring for problems this characteristic is irreplaceable. And happy people influence others and tend to share positive attitude. Thus, people who have a good sense of humor influence their community optimistically, too.

it means making someone laugh. Humour means taking delight in the mirthful and the ludicrous. People with a strong sense of humour are very popular and their presence in any gathering is highly welcomed. They add spice to otherwise stale parties attended by many out of a sense of duty or decorum. They always put on a happy countenance and exude cheerfulness. They are capable of affecting others too with a sense of humour and cheerfulness. Many a time they function like an oasis of hope in the midst of desert of worldly woes and difficulties. Life is neither good nor bad. It is what you make of it. If one has developed an attitude of always looking at the dark-side of life, he will always manage to find some drawback and shortcoming even in a happy situation. On the other hand, people with an even temperament and equipped with a sense of humour always find something consoling or even amusing in many not so happy situations. Excellent examples of boisterous humour are found in Shakespeare's play "As You like It" where all the characters manage to reach Forest of Arden and have a great time inspite of all drawbacks and shortcomings of country life. Rosalind is deeply in love with Orlando, but manages to make fun of him when she sees him wounded by a tiger: "O, my dear Orlando, how it Grieves me to see thee wear thy heart in a scarf" Orlando - It is my arm. ROS I thought the heart had been wounded with the claws of a lion. Oral - Wounded it is, but with the eyes of a lady Rosalind's scintillating wit changes the complexion of things and personali-ties. She makes fun of Melancholy Jacques saying "You have reason to be sad. I fear you have sold your lands to other men; then to have seen much and to have nothing is to have rich eyes and poor hands". Thus Rosalind punctures the vanity of Jacques and puts him in his place.

Many people who think too highly of themselves are in the danger of losing touch with reality and of becoming megalomaniac. Such people should always have some friends or associates who should occasionally puncture their vanity and bring them down to earth. In ancient times Kings and Princes used to keep clowns or Vidushak who were permitted to laugh at the cost of the King in addition to making fun of them. Even the grim tragedy of King Lear is relieved by the wise, sarcastic and humorous remarks of the fool. He asks King Lear whether the latter knows why a snail makes his shell. On Lear's inability to tell, the fool explains that snail is wiser than King Lear as snail can protect his head in his shell and would not give it to his daughter as Lear did. Again the fool makes fun of King Lear saying that if Lear had been his fool and he his King, he would have had the King beaten for being old before he became wise. The fool, thus, keeps on reminding Lear of his misplaced generosity to his ungrateful daughters. He could do so only in a humorous manner not plainly. The jokes of Birbal at the expense of Emperor Akbar, illustrating a high sense of humour, are extremely popular with the people of North India. In modern times, there are no kings and no official fools. But there are Presidents and Prime Ministers who have taken the place of kings. There are newspaper-cartoonists who come out with amusing cartoons, exciting laughter at the irrational and selfish acts of politicians and they can be very effective in delivering their message. So much fun was made of the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Ninglekar, for getting a medical seat for his ineligible daughter that he had to be removed from the post of Chief Ministership by Congress High Command. It excites amusement of citizens when they find their exalted leader doing things which are not in keeping with their high status. The Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra found chasing an air hostess in Germany was a butt of ridicule for the entire nation and he had to be relieved of his ministerial berth. We must develop a sense of humour if we want to maintain our mental balance. We should not take life too seriously. Life is not a well-executed plot. It has its ups; and down. We must not forget that our planet earth is like a speck of dust in the vast universe. One man's life is but an infinitesimal part of the world. Although one must make the best of one's life, taking it too seriously and always being in a hurry, anxious or worked-up will not make one's life more worthwhile. We should learn to relax and look at the flow of life and unfolding of events in a relaxed and even amused attitude. We should derive happiness from little things of life. Blessed with a sense of - humour, we find occasions for amusement and laughter almost everywhere. Little children imitating the mannerism of their parents provide a hilarious spectacle. Students; mimicing the voice of a strict and harsh teacher provoke unrestrained laughter. Forgetfulness of people occasions amusements.

A high ranking officer dressed in formal suit and necktie but forgetting to wear shoes and going to office in bathroom slippers provides an opportunity for amusement to his subordinates. Apparent incongruous behaviour of people excites mirth. When we find a formidable high ranking army officer washing clothes of his wife at home one cannot help laughing. A teacher of scriptures found enjoying a cabaret performance invites unre-strained laughter from his students. If the targets of laughter are also equipped with a sense of humour they can develop self-awareness in their behaviour to make it more humane and balanced.
Please do not believe all you read. I am 21 years old and i find a girls sense of humor to be very important. No one wants to be with a boring stick in the mud. Make your own jokes, laugh at his jokes...if they are funny, and just have fun. I have read my share of articles about relationships and my girlfriend has as well, what you need to remember is that there is a lot of misinformation out there and to take everything you read with a grain of salt. Sense of humor is important.....Enough said!

There are some people that can find the funny side of things that ordinary people don't see. But that's not the same as not being able to take things seriously. There are some people that can laugh at a good joke as easily as they can laugh at the efforts that the person telling it is doing, even though he/she is not good at it. But that's not the same as laughing at everything all day long like a Muppet on a Jim Carrey show. There are some people that can catch the attention of a crowd by the way they tell a funny story. But that's not the same as having a 24 h urge to get attention. There are people that can see the bright side of life where everyone else sees blank or dark. But that's not the same as having a blissful smile all day, as some people that just won't get it. There is this guy that when you see him coming your way you just smile, because you know he will bring good news, even if he has to sweeten it up a little or make them up for you. But not to deceive you, because you both know he's not telling it as it is. Those are the people that have a good sense of humor.
