In times of chaos

In times of sadness, fear

When darkness threatens

All you hold dear

When hope is illusion

An old coat you once wore

Smile

Because laughter

Is mightier than the sword

What is laughter to you? Does is combat the darkness? Lift your spirits like Atlas lifting the world? We're told it's the best medicine and there's no mistaking it makes us feel good. Take time to smile and to laugh and to enjoy life.
