Mirth Pangs

I would instruct people to laugh at life, especially when it becomes absurdly difficult. Try to see the humour in it. This is because we can't do much else about it most of the time. And bad things are always going to happen, no matter how perfect we make our political and social systems. People are always going to be upset over something. (That thought is slightly comical on its own.) Laughter can be empowering. Authority figures know this and are threatened by humour. I'm speaking mostly from personal experience, but I'm pretty sure about it. Authority figures are generally serious individuals. Laughter sort of undoes the intended effects of whatever suffering they might have had in mind for you. Such authority might also exist on a smaller scale, such as within the dynamic of a romantic relationship. Try laughing when she's trying to scold you and see what happens. But when you laugh, try to be conscious of how it sounds. It's not quite like smiling, in terms of infectiousness. Some people really need to work on this: people with lung diseases, mad scientists, people who laugh at wipeouts on music recordings, laughing at one's own lame attempts at humour, laughing at other lame attempts at humour, even babies who laugh after they poke you in the eye and make you cry out in pain. These are but a few examples to show that not every laugh is a good laugh.
