Don’t take yourself too seriously; after all, no one leaves this world alive. A sense of humor involves the ability to appreciate incongruity, absurdity, unexpected outcomes, pleasant surprises, or sudden events. Humor helps soften life’s blows, as evidenced by the humor people express at funerals. In a recent seminar, participants identified humor as an essential coping mechanism, playing a role in their spirituality and their understanding of life’s meaning. Nurses’ use of humor is crucial for building trusting relationships with patients.
Emmett Fox said, “Cultivate a sense of humor. Look for the funny side of everything. It is always there and will help you face any situation. Laugh at yourself at least once before 10 o’clock every morning.”
Here are seven benefits of maintaining a sense of humor:
- Stop taking yourself so seriously: Learn to laugh at yourself. Laughing at oneself relieves stress and shifts your focus to other matters.

“What’s Humor Got to Do With It?”

We often laugh due to the humor of others, and negative emotional feelings are frequently relieved through humor. In life, if we face challenges with a smile, especially when confronting setbacks, things often turn out better. The following are the powers of humor that can help heal our body, mind, and spirit.
First, humor can relieve stress. When we are under stress, we may not have enough energy to laugh, but when we hear something humorous, we’ll unconsciously smile. At this time, our nervous system gets a brief respite.
Second, humor helps communication. This is a great psychological strategy for anyone, particularly for those who are anxious or depressed. In many cases, when faced with criticism from others, we are likely to cause conflict; however, after hearing some humor, everyone can laugh. Thus, disputes are magically resolved. Humor is a way to express truth, which can be difficult for some people.
Third, humor can help us overcome fear. If you are afraid of something, you can read or listen to something humorous, which can lift your mood and make you feel optimistic and happy.
Fourth, humor can make people feel comfortable. Charlie Chaplin once said, “In good faith … ...Read the rest.
“Humor Is Also a Kind of Psychological Force”
by Manuel Marino | Humor
I’ve been a fan of NBC’s popular sitcom “The Office” for quite some time. The show’s success largely stems from its ability to create a humorous parody of real-life workplace situations, such as dull meetings, an irrational boss, office politics, competition, and even romance. One area the writers focus on is humor in the workplace. Two specific scenarios come to mind: Michael Scott’s (the boss) inept attempts at telling jokes to his staff, which no one appreciates, and Jim Halpert’s barrage of practical jokes on his workplace nemesis, Dwight Schrute (my personal favorite being when Jim moved Dwight’s desk into the men’s room).
In Scott’s case, as the manager, he simply wants to lighten the mood in the office. Although he genuinely believes he’s being witty, he’s oblivious to the fact that not only is his delivery poor, but his comments are embarrassingly crude and politically incorrect. Despite his good intentions, his staff is only left shocked by his remarks. In other words, instead of easing workplace tensions, he exacerbates them.
In Halpert’s case, there is significant tension between Schrute and himself. However, due to Dwight’s quirky personality, he becomes an easy target for Jim, who finds satisfaction … ...Read the rest.

“The humors power and how to creative the humor”
by Manuel Marino | Humor
We often wonder about the lives of our ancestors. How did people in the 14th century, during the Middle Ages, cope with the challenges of plague, famine, wars, and mere survival? What about the people of 17th and 18th century Europe? Were they constantly engaged in warfare or preoccupied with court intrigue and hunting parties? While paintings from these eras mainly offer religious or decorative information, tapestries provide glimpses into the world from the 13th century onwards.
In the Middle Ages, many handwoven tapestries were religious in nature. However, wealthy patrons also commissioned tapestries to adorn the damp, dark walls of their castles. Popular themes depicted lords enjoying leisure time with ladies in gardens, or victorious battle scenes featuring lords, dukes, or kings. The weavers of these tapestries were often itinerant, traveling from place to place to work on commissioned projects. As both weavers and artists, they would create a design for approval before weaving the wall tapestry. Humor was often incorporated into these designs, sometimes unbeknownst to the patron. For example, a weaver might cheekily insert himself as an enemy soldier in a battle scene, or portray his wife as a servant woman in a leisure scene, … ...Read the rest.
