"The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder."
-Virginia Woolf
"So many tangles in life are ultimately hopeless that we have no appropriate sword other than laughter."
- Gordon W. Allport
Now, it is my contention that crying is beneficial and good for the constitution, as long as it is not inappropriate, out of place or excessive. It is a mark of gentleness and remote from cruelty. It may be considered a kind of redemption and akin to the intensity of feeling we experience towards those whom we love. It is one of the things that brings people closer together and by which those who live in fear seek mercy…
If such is the case with tears, what do you think about laughter, where the laugher experiences such boundless pleasure that he quite forgets why he is laughing? If laughter was something offensive on the part of the laugher or of its cause, why should a flower, a pretty dress, jewellery or a fine house be said to be ‘as if laughing’?
The Word of God says, ‘He it is who maketh laugh and cry. He it is who giveth life and death.’ [Quran, 53:33-34] thus has the Lord linked laughter with life and coupled tears with death. He does not ascribe unto Himself that which is repugnant or bestow imperfection on His creation. How can laughter fail to play a major part in human happiness and physical well-being when it is something in the basic fabric of temperament and character?
Laughter is the first fine thing to appear in an infant. It delights the child’s soul, puts flesh on his ribs and increases the blood supply, which is the cause of happiness and the substance of good health.
