The same people who are murdered slowly in the mechanized slaughterhouses of work are also arguing singing drinking dancing making love holding the streets picking up weapons and inventing a new poetry.
Dogs laugh but they laugh with their tails.
To plunder to slaughter to steal these things they misname empire and where they make a wilderness they call it peace.
Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy.
I'm hosting weekend retreats all over America. It is like a 24-hour slumber party for moms. We laugh eat play games get massages win prizes talk about parenting and even cry a bit.
There is no doubt that religion had already waned under the onslaught of the Enlightenment but it was Freud who provided the radically new understanding of human nature that made any religious explanation of the whats and whys of our personhood seem naive.
I believe that laughter is the best emotional Band-Aid in the world. It's like nature's Neosporin.
Economic medicine that was previously meted out by the cupful has recently been dispensed by the barrel. These once unthinkable dosages will almost certainly bring on unwelcome after-effects. Their precise nature is anyone's guess though one likely consequence is an onslaught of inflation.
Breathless we flung us on a windy hill Laughed in the sun and kissed the lovely grass.
A light wind swept over the corn and all nature laughed in the sunshine.
Earth laughs in flowers.
What I took back because of my exposure to the Jewish music of the 30s and the 40s in my upbringing with my father was that kind of theatrical songwriting. It was always a part of my character. This desire to make people laugh.
People think our music's very aggressive or angry or whatever and it's just the opposite really... I like laughing. And I like being really calm before a show and smiley.
I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.
My job in this life is to give people spiritual ecstasy through music. In my concerts people cry laugh dance. If they climaxed spiritually I did my job. I did it decently and honestly.
Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure making the music sound sweeter the wine taste richer the laughter ring louder because they are there.
My favorite movies are movies that I go in and I leave deeply affected. Whether I laugh really hard or whether I cry really hard I just want to feel really affected in that moment.
