Why do humans laugh? How does our brain determine what’s funny and what’s not?
In: 860
God has a sense of humor, and if we’re made in God’s image, we, too, have a sense of humor, even the darkest souls among us.
What makes me laugh isn’t just a brain reaction to stimuli. I’m aware that I am more than my brain and my response to something humorous. There’s something in our soul that allows us to feel pleasure from laughter. It makes our body, brain, heart and spirit happy for reasons beyond, “1 + 1 = 2”.
Laughter is something we are literally born with, outside of brain damage that inhibits that natural birth right.
